Inhaltsangabe

Twenty experts in the history of mathematics describe the genesis of today's international mathematical community, looking not only at development within component national mathematical communities, such as the growth of societies and journals, but also at more wide-ranging political, philosophical, linguistic, and pedagogical issues. Some areas under study include the diffusion of French mathematics, 1820- 1870, international mathematical contributions to British scientific journals, 1800-1900, and the emergence of the Japanese mathematical community, 1855-1945. Material originated at a May 1999 symposium held at the University of Virginia. The book is of interest to mathematicians, historians of mathematics, and historians of science. Annotation c.
