Mathematics and Logic in History and in Contemporary Thought
Taylor & Francis
Covering the evolution of mathematics since the ancient times, this work observes the changes that have taken place in the conception of rational theory. It places emphasis on the philosophic and logical systems, from Aristotle onward, that provide the basis for the fusion of mathematics and logic in contemporary thought. > This book is not a conventional history of mathematics as such, a museum of documents and scientific curiosities. Instead, it identifies this vital science with the thought of those who constructed it and in its relation to the changing cultural context in which it evolved. Particular emphasis is placed on the philosophic and logical systems, from Aristotle onward, that provide the basis for the fusion of mathematics and logic in contemporary thought. > I. The Meaning, Purpose and Methods History of Mathematics and of Logic II. Pre-Hellenic Mathematics III. Greek Mathematics before Euclid IV. The Logic of Aristotle V. Euclid's Elements in Hellenistic cuy
