This volume contains fourteen papers that were presented at the 2016 Annual Meeting of the Canadian Society for History and Philosophy of Mathematics/La Societe Canadienne d'Histoire et de Philosophie des Mathematiques, held at the University of Calgary in Alberta, Canada.
This book presents the entire body of thought of Norbert Wiener (1894-1964), knowledge of which is essential if one wishes to understand and correctly interpret the age in which we live.
Hellmuth Kneser (1898-1973) ist der Zweite von drei bedeutenden Mathematikern aus aufeinander folgenden Generationen der Familie Kneser, die wegweisende Erkenntnisse in einem erstaunlich breiten Spektrum von Spezialgebieten beisteuerten.
A significant number of works have set forth, over the past decades, the emphasis laid by seventeenth-century mathematicians and philosophers on motion and kinematic notions in geometry.

Book IV of the Konika consists of two parts; the first presents a theory of poles and polars, the second deals with the number of intersections and points of contact in a conic section.
The first three books of the Conica deals with the basic elements of the theory of conical sections, before Apollonius turns to particular problems in the following books.
The first book-length study to address issues in modal logic at the eve of the Renaissance, this monograph provides important new insights into the way the debates on modal logic during the post-medieval period tied in with the so-called Wegestreit, the divide between the via antiqua and via moderna that dominated the discourse on logic during the 15th and early 16th centuries.
Der vorliegende Band umfasst etwa 100 Studien, Entwürfe und Aufzeichnungen des Zeitraums 1674 bis 1676 zur Infinitesimalrechnung, die mit wenigen Ausnahmen bisher unveröffentlicht waren.
Der vorliegende Band umfasst die fast ausnahmslos undatierten Studien, Entwürfe, Aufzeichnungen vom März bis Ende 1673 zur Infinitesimalrechnung, also zur unmittelbaren Vorgeschichte der Erfindung des Calculus.
Ernst Specker has made decisive contributions towards shaping direc- tions in topology, algebra, mathematical logic, combinatorics and algorith- mic over the last 40 years.
Evariste Galois' short life was lived against the turbulent background of the restoration of the Bourbons to the throne of France, the 1830 revolution in Paris and the accession of Louis-Phillipe.
The general principles by which the editors and authors of the present edition have been guided were explained in the preface to the first volume of Mathemat- ics of the 19th Century, which contains chapters on the history of mathematical logic, algebra, number theory, and probability theory (Nauka, Moscow 1978; En- glish translation by Birkhiiuser Verlag, Basel-Boston-Berlin 1992).
