Isaac Newton on Mathematical Certainty and Method

Angebote / Angebote:

Historians of mathematics have devoted considerable attention to Isaac Newton¿s work on algebra, series, fluxions, quadratures, and geometry. In Isaac Newton on Mathematical Certainty and Method, Niccolò Guicciardini examines a critical aspect of Newton¿s work that has not been tightly connected to Newton¿s actual practice: his philosophy of mathematics. Guicciardini reconstructs Newton¿s own method by extracting it from his concrete practice and not solely by examining his broader statements about such matters. Isaac Newton on Mathematical Certainty and Method uncovers what mathematics was for Newton, and what being a mathematician meant to him. Imagery in the 21st Century examines this revolution in various fields, with researchers from the natural sciences and the humanities meeting to achieve a deeper understanding of the meaning and impact of the image in our time.
