Beskrivning

This open access book is about the shaping of international relations in mathematics over the last two hundred years. Since 1950 the current IMU has played an increasing role in defining mathematical excellence, as is shown both in the historical narrative and by analyzing data about the International Congresses of Mathematicians.

Mer om författaren

Norbert Schappacher is professor emeritus of mathematics at the University of Strasbourg, France. After decades of research in Arithmetic Algebraic Geometry he turned to the history of science, esp. 19th and 20th century. He is particularly interested in interactions between science and politics; several of his papers deal with mathematics in Germany under the Nazis. From 2008 to 2016 he was the managing editor of Revue d’histoire des mathématiques, Paris.

Recensioner i media

“This book goes far beyond its intended program. It is a magnificent survey of the social and political history of mathematics in the last 200 years within the political history and the history of science in general.” (Volker Peckhaus, Mathematical Reviews, May, 2023)
