Philosophy of Mathematics and Mathematical Practice in the Seventeenth Century (Hardcover)

The 17th century saw a dramatic development in mathematical theory and practice. With the recovery of many of the classical Greek mathematical texts, new techniques were developed, and within 100 years the rules of modern analytic geometry, geometry of indivisibles, arithmetic of infinites, and calculus had been developed. Although many technical studies have been devoted to these developments, Mancosu provides the first comprehensive account of the foundational issues raised in the relationship between mathematical advances of this period and philosophy of mathematics of the time.
