August Mobius was one of the 19th century's most influential
mathematicians and astronomers. Written by six distinguished
contributors, this book explores the work of Mobius and his
brilliant German contemporaries. The work emphasizes those
achievements which in many ways can be seen to reflect the exciting
advances taking place at the time throughout the entire scientific
world. The background to Mobius's life and labors is provided by
John Fauvel. Gert Schubring examines the mathematical community in
19th-century Germany, while Allan Chapman describes the revolution
in astronomy that took place during the period. Jeremy Gray
analyzes Mobius's contribution to geometrical mechanics and Norman
Biggs traces his role in the development of topological ideas.
Finally, Ian Stewart explores the legacy Mobius left to mathematics
in our own century. This stimulating volume will appeal to all
scientists in the fields that Mobius helped advance--physics,
mathematics, and astronomy--as well as general readers interested
in the history of science.
