This book focuses on some of the major developments in the history
of contemporary (19th and 20th century) mathematics as seen in the
broader context of the development of science and culture. Avoiding
technicalities, it displays the breadth of contrasting images of
mathematics favoured by different countries, schools and historical
movements, showing how the conception and practice of mathematics
changed over time depending on the cultural and national context.
Thus it provides an original perspective for embracing the richness
and variety inherent in the development of mathematics. Attention
is paid to the interaction of mathematics with themes whose proper
treatment have been neglected by the traditional historiography of
the discipline, such as the relationship between mathematics,
statistics and medicine.
