The History of Modern Mathematics, Volume I: Ideas and their Reception
documents the proceedings of the Symposium on the History of Modern
Mathematics held at Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, New York on June
20-24, 1989. This book is concerned with the emergence and reception
of major ideas in fields that range from foundations and set theory,
algebra and invariant theory, and number theory to differential
geometry, projective and algebraic geometry, line geometry, and
transformation groups. Other topics include the theory of reception
for the history of mathematics and British synthetic vs. French
analytic styles of algebra in the early American Republic. The early
geometrical works of Sophus Lie and Felix Klein, background to
Gergonne's treatment of duality, and algebraic geometry in the late
19th century are also elaborated. This volume is intended for students
and researchers interested in developments in pure mathematics.
