ABOUT: Introduction History Related areas Subfields POINTERS: Texts Software Web links Selected topics here 01: History and biography Introduction Formal studies in the history of mathematics developed much more slowly than studies in mathematics itself. There is a particular difficulty in that those who are well trained in historical analysis are typically insufficiently versed in mathematics to be able to appreciate the subject at hand. This has left mathematicians to write their history, by and large, although they are usually untrained for that task. Nonetheless, the stories of the people involved in developing mathematics are often inspiring or informative. A sense of what motivated mathematicians to pursue their key ideas helps put the importance of those results into a better context. Thus the study of the history of mathematics and its proponents includes several well-developed parts. The development of comparatively simple mathematics (through the calculus, for example) is now well documented, principally as part of the study of the development of scientific ideas in distinct human cultures through the 18th century. The development of mathematics in the last couple of centuries is instead more frequently studied thematically that is, the worldwide development of algebra, or statistics, say or through the lives of individual mathematicians. No attempt will be made to summarize the development of abstract and applied mathematics during this last few centuries; see the resources below. Some historical comments are included in the index pages for the separate disciplines.

This washing machine was supposed to produce cleaner and less-tangled clothes. Chaos theory attempts to explain the fact that complex and unpredictable results can and will occur in systems that are sensitive to their initial conditions. The history of chaos theory is explained along with other real-life examples.

Luitzen Egbertus Jan Brouwer Born: 27 Feb 1881 in Overschie (now a suburb of Rotterdam), Netherlands Died: 2 Dec 1966 in Blaricum, Netherlands Show birthplace location Previous (Chronologically) Next Biographies Index Previous (Alphabetically) Next Welcome page L E J Brouwer founded the doctrine of mathematical intuitionism, which views mathematics as the formulation of mental constructions that are governed by self-evident laws. Brouwer was an unsalaried lecturer at the University of Amsterdam (1909), and was professor of set theory, function theory and axiomatics there from 1912 to 1951. Hilbert wrote a warm letter of recommendation which helped Brouwer to the chair. However in 1919 Hilbert Brouwer was a major contributor to the theory of topology and was considered by many to be its founder. He did almost all his work in topology between 1909 and 1913. He discovered characterisations of topological mappings of the Cartesian plane and a number of fixed point theorems. Brouwer's doctrine differed substantially from the formalism of David Hilbert and the logicism of Bertrand Russell . His doctoral thesis in 1907 on the foundations of mathematics attacked the logical foundations of mathematics and form the beginning of the Intuitionist School. He rejected in mathematical proofs the Principle of the Excluded Middle, which states that any mathematical statement is either true or false. In 1918 he published a set theory, in 1919 a measure theory and in 1923 a theory of functions all developed without using the Principle of the Excluded Middle.

David Eppstein About Contact Research Students ... Math Fun Like many, I was inspired early on by Martin Gardner's Mathematical Games column, which included a mixture of puzzles, silliness, curious/useless math, and quite serious (but not overly technical) math. In that spirit, I've collected many pages and links of recreational math web sites. My recreational math publications Number Theory . Implementations of some simple number-theoretic algorithms along with pointers to other number theory web pages. Combinatorial Game Theory . Mathematical strategies for games like chess, go, and nim. The Geometry Junkyard . Many links to recreational geometry web pages, open problem lists, lecture notes, usenet postings, and brief blurbs from my own papers. For more serious geometry links, see my Geometry in Action pages.
