Mathematical Works Printed in the Americas, 1554–1700 (Johns Hopkins Studies in the History of Mathematics)
Published 1 week, 4 days ago
Description
A comprehensive bibliography surveys mathematical works printed in the Americas between 1554 and 1700, presenting a detailed catalog of titles, authors, printers, and original locations. It distinguishes between "mathematical works" and almanacs, though it includes a significant section on the latter due to their mathematical content. The entries often provide contextual information about the works' mathematical concepts, such as the "rule of three" or congruent numbers, and describe illustrations or unique features like volvelles. Additionally, the text offers biographical details about the authors and discusses historical and printing considerations relevant to these early American publications, like currency conversions or the debate surrounding comets.
