Instructing the Mathematical Imagination
This book examines the creation and character of mathematical training at Bryn Mawr College between 1885 and 1926 under the leadership of Charlotte Angas Scott. Though designated as a college, Bryn Mawr boasted the world?s first graduate degree programs in which women taught women. Through detailed analysis of Scott?s publications, student dissertations, and institutional records?including the college?s Journal Club Notebooks?the author reconstructs how a sustained, collaborative, and visually grounded style of mathematics emerged in this setting. Rather than focusing on biographical exceptionalism, the study situates Scott and her students within broader shifts in the American mathematical ...
Mathematics in Victorian Britain
During the Victorian era, industrial and economic growth led to a phenomenal rise in productivity and invention. That spirit of creativity and ingenuity was reflected in the massive expansion in scope and complexity of many scientific disciplines during this time, with subjects evolving rapidly and the creation of many new disciplines. The subject of mathematics was no exception and many of the advances made by mathematicians during the Victorian period are still familiar today; matrices, vectors, Boolean algebra, histograms, and standard deviation were just some of the innovations pioneered by these mathematicians. This book constitutes perhaps the first general survey of the mathematics of...
