The Transformation of Mathematics in the Early Mediterranean World: From Problems to Equations - Cambridge Classical Studies
Netz, Reviel (Stanford University, California)
This book analyzes the historical transformation of early mathematics, from a Greek practice based on the localized solution to an Islamic practice based on the systematic approach. The transformation is accounted for in terms of changing social practices, thereby offering an alternate interpretation of the historical trajectory of mathematics.
