Historian David E. Rowe captures the rich tapestry of mathematical
creativity in this collection of essays from the "Years Ago" column
of The Mathematical Intelligencer. With topics ranging from ancient
Greek mathematics to modern relativistic cosmology, this collection
conveys the impetus and spirit of Rowe's various and many-faceted
contributions to the history of mathematics. Centered on the
Goettingen mathematical tradition, these stories illuminate
important facets of mathematical activity often overlooked in other
accounts. Six sections place the essays in chronological and
thematic order, beginning with new introductions that contextualize
each section. The essays that follow recount episodes relating to
the section's overall theme. All of the essays in this collection,
with the exception of two, appeared over the course of more than 30
years in The Mathematical Intelligencer. Based largely on archival
and primary sources, these vignettes offer unusual insights into
behind-the-scenes events. Taken together, they aim to show how
Goettingen managed to attract an extraordinary array of talented
individuals, several of whom contributed to the development of a
new mathematical culture during the first decades of the twentieth
century.
