This book explores facets of Otto Neugebauer's career, his impact
on the history and practice of mathematics, and the ways in which
his legacy has been preserved or transformed in recent decades,
looking ahead to the directions in which the study of the history
of science will head in the twenty-first century. Neugebauer, more
than any other scholar of recent times, shaped the way we perceive
premodern science. Through his scholarship and influence on
students and collaborators, he inculcated both an approach to
historical research on ancient and medieval mathematics and
astronomy through precise mathematical and philological study of
texts, and a vision of these sciences as systems of knowledge and
method that spread outward from the ancient Near Eastern
civilizations, crossing cultural boundaries and circulating over a
tremendous geographical expanse of the Old World from the Atlantic
to India.
