The general principles by which the editors and authors of the
present edition have been guided were explained in the preface to
the first volume of Mathemat ics of the 19th Century, which
contains chapters on the history of mathematical logic, algebra,
number theory, and probability theory (Nauka, Moscow 1978; En glish
translation by Birkhiiuser Verlag, Basel-Boston-Berlin 1992).
Circumstances beyond the control of the editors necessitated
certain changes in the sequence of historical exposition of
individual disciplines. The second volume contains two chapters:
history of geometry and history of analytic function theory
(including elliptic and Abelian functions); the size of the two
chapters naturally entailed di viding them into sections. The
history of differential and integral calculus, as well as
computational mathematics, which we had planned to include in the
second volume, will form part of the third volume. We remind our
readers that the appendix of each volume contains a list of the
most important literature and an index of names. The names of
journals are given in abbreviated form and the volume and year of
publication are indicated; if the actual year of publication
differs from the nominal year, the latter is given in parentheses.
The book History of Mathematics from Ancient Times to the Early
Nineteenth Century in Russian], which was published in the years
1970-1972, is cited in abbreviated form as HM (with volume and page
number indicated). The first volume of the present series is cited
as Bk. 1 (with page numbers)."
