Conceived and edited by Adolf Pavlovich Yushkevich (1906-1993), the leading Soviet historian of mathematics and winner of the George Sarton Medal of the History of Science Society, the three volumes were produced by a rotating team of specialists from the Institute of the History of Science and Technology of the USSR Academy of Sciences, including Isabella Bashmakova, Boris Rozenfeld, Elena Berezkina, Adolf Volodarsky, Leonid Maistrov, Elena Ozhigova and Oscar Sheinin, each contributing chapters within their own area of expertise. Volume one traces mathematics from prehistoric number concepts through ancient Egypt, Babylon, Greece, the Hellenistic and Roman world, China, India, the medieval Islamic world and medieval and Renaissance Europe. Volume two covers the mathematics of the seventeenth century: arithmetic and algebra, computational aids, number theory, early probability and combinatorics, geometry and the emergence of infinitesimal methods leading to the calculus of Newton and Leibniz. Volume three completes the survey with the mathematics of the eighteenth century, from Euler, Lagrange and Laplace through the development of differential and integral calculus, ordinary and partial differential equations, and the calculus of variations. The set synthesizes decades of primary-source research by the Soviet school of history of mathematics and remains a standard citation in international scholarship on the history of science, valued by historians and collectors for its geographic breadth, particularly its extensive treatment of Chinese, Indian and Islamic mathematics largely underrepresented in Western surveys of the period.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stanza Rare Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44665295667242,"sku":null,"price":220.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0701\/6359\/5306\/files\/IMG_1510.jpg?v=1786460342","url":"https:\/\/stanzararebooks.com\/products\/yushkevich-a-history-of-mathematics-from-ancient-times-to-the-beginning-of-the-19th-century-istoriya-matematiki-s-drevneishikh-vremen-do-nachala-xix-stoletiya-in-three-volumes-1970-1972-in-russian","provider":"Stanza Rare Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
