Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Leichte Gebrauchsspuren; Leichte Verschmutzung / Farbtonveränderung. Lunar and solar eclipses have always fascinated human beings. Digging deep into history, Clemency Montelle examines the ways in which theoretical understanding of eclipses originated and how ancient and medieval cultures shared, developed, and preserved their knowledge of these awe-inspiring events. Eclipses were the celestial phenomena most challenging to understand in the ancient world. Montelle draws on original research--much of it derived from reading primary source material written in Akkadian and Sanskrit, as well as ancient Greek, Latin, and Arabic--to explore how observers in Babylon, the Islamic Near East, Greece, and India developed new astronomical and mathematical techniques to predict and describe the features of eclipses. She identifies the profound scientific discoveries of these four cultures and discusses how the societies exchanged information about eclipses. In constructing this history, Montelle establishes a clear pattern of the transmission of scientific ideas from one culture to another in the ancient and medieval world. Chasing Shadows is an invitingly written and highly informative exploration of the early history of astronomy.…

Bibliography. This volume is a compilation of scholarly contributions that highlight the achievements of the twelfth century Indian astronomer Bhaskaracarya. The articles arose from an International Conference held in 2014 to celebrate the 900th birth anniversary of this legendary scholar. Besides a detailed introduction, the volume comprises of twenty articles, and is divided into seven parts. Part I Presents an account of the Cangadeva inscription, with details about Bhaskara's lineage and his extraordinary scholarship, and also examines the origins of the famous 'Legend of Lilavati. Bhaskaracarya's mathematical contributions contained in his famous works the Lilavati and the Bijagaita are highlighted in Parts II and III. His astronomical contributions are surveyed in the following three parts. Parts IV and V investigate aspects of his famous astronomical work, the Siddhantasiromani, whereas Part VI deals with his astronomical handbook, the Karanakutuhala. Finally, Part VII, considers the transmission and circulation of the text in the Mughal period as well as the relevance and suitability of his works in modern pedagogy. With its extensive and comprehensive coverage, this volume would be a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of astronomy and mathematics. As this volume is ground breaking in its coverage and comprehensiveness and attests to but one of the many illustrious thinkers in Indian history, it would be a very useful companion to anyone interested in the history of astronomy.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A Cultural History of Mathematics in the Medieval Age covers the period from 500 to 1450, focusing in particular on the innovations in East and South Asia and in Islamicate cultures. With the invention of algebra and the decimal place-value number system - as well as innovations in trigonometry, astronomy, and finance - medieval mathematics reenvisioned the science it inherited from antiquity and fundamentally transformed the world. The six volume set of the Cultural History of Mathematics explores the value and impact of mathematics in human culture from antiquity to the present. The themes covered in each volume are everyday numeracy; practice and profession; inventing mathematics; mathematics and worldviews; describing and understanding the world; mathematics and technological change; representing mathematics.Joseph W. Dauben is Distinguished Professor of History at the City University of New York, USA.Clemency Montelle is Professor of Mathematics at the University of Canterbury, New Zealand.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - An invaluable reference book on the mathematics of Greek antiquityEuclid, Archimedes, and Apollonius are familiar names to many of us, and their contributions have shaped mathematical practice up to modern times. Yet the mathematical activity of Greek antiquity extended far beyond their achievements and was furthered by diverse individuals in different contexts. Sourcebook in the Mathematics of Ancient Greece and the Eastern Mediterranean brings together an extensive collection of primary source materials that document the extraordinary breadth of mathematical ideas developed in the Eastern Mediterranean from 500 BCE to 500 CE, a millennium in which Greek cultural influence spanned the ancient world.Weaving together ancient commentaries with the works themselves, Victor Katz and Clemency Montelle present a wealth of newly translated texts along with sources difficult to find elsewhere, from writings by the great mathematical thinkers of Greek antiquity to those by practitioners who used mathematics in everyday life. This comprehensive and wide-ranging sourcebook includes lesser-known authors who made critical contributions, sometimes in languages other than Greek, as well as accounts of technical instrumentation, papyri by anonymous authors designed for teaching purposes, and evidence of hand computations and numerical tables.An essential resource for anyone interested in the mathematical achievements of this remarkable intellectual culture, Sourcebook in the Mathematics of Ancient Greece and the Eastern Mediterranean encompasses disciplines that illustrate the important role of mathematics in ancient Greek society more broadly, from astronomy, music, and optics to philosophy, literature, and theater.…

Hardback, ix + 615 pages, Size:178 x 254 mm, Illustrations:58 b/w, 16 col., Language: English. ISBN 9782503596068. Summary Astronomical tables are a significant yet understudied part of the scientific historical corpus. They circulated among many cultures, and were adopted and transformed by astronomical practitioners for a variety of purposes. The numerical data conveyed in these tables provides rich evidence for pre-modern scientific practices. In the last fifty years, new approaches to the analysis and critical editing of astronomical tables have flourished due to advances in computing power and associated modern mathematical tools. In more recent times, the rapid growth of digital humanities and modern data analysis promises exciting further developments in this area. The present collection of studies on astronomical tables captures this momentum. It is a result of long-term collaborative work on building a database of astronomical tables and other objects found in manuscripts, released under the name DISHAS (Digital Information System for the History of Astral Sciences). The fourteen contributions in this volume provide a broad coverage of astronomical traditions throughout Eurasia and North Africa, which, with very few exceptions, find their roots in the mathematical astronomy of Ptolemy. The contributions include critical editions of previously unexamined astronomical tables along with insightful mathematical analyses, as well as reflective methodological surveys that open up new perspectives for research on these fundamental sources for the history of mathematics and astronomy.
