Die Abhandlung uber Kegelschnitte des hellenistischen Mathematikers Apollonius aus Perge gilt als ein Gipfelpunkt der griechischen Mathematik und war bis ins 18. Jahrhundert hinein richtungsweisend. Die Neuedition berucksichtigt erstmals samtliche griechische und arabische Quellen; die arabischen Texte werden in der kritischen Erstedition vorgelegt. Beide Textversionen werden von einer franzosischen Ubersetzung begleitet. Ein reichhaltiger mathematischer Kommentar, ergiebige philologische Anmerkungen und ein komplettes Glossar vervollstandigen die Ausgabe. Die vierbandige Edition soll 2009...

This book follows the development of classical mathematics and the relation between work done in the Arab and Islamic worlds and that undertaken by the likes of Descartes and Fermat.

'Early modern, ' mathematics is a term widely used to refer to the mathematics which developed in the West during the sixteenth and seventeenth century. For many historians and philosophers this is the watershed which marks a radical departure from 'classical mathematics, ' to more modern mathematics; heralding the arrival of algebra, geometrical algebra, and the mathematics of the continuous. In this...

Al-Khwarizmi's Algebra (Kitab al-Jabr wa-al-muqabala), written around 820, was the first scientific text in history to systematically present algebra as a mathematical discipline that is independent of geometry and arithmetic.

Roshdi Rashed is a leading authority in the history and philosophy of science and mathematics. He is senior director of research at the Centre...

The series Scientia Graeco-Arabicais devoted to the study of scientific and philosophical texts from the Classical and the Islamic world handed down in Arabic.

The no longer extant commentary by Alexander of Aphrodisias (approx. 200 AD) on Aristotle's Physics is one of the most important works of antiquity -, as a source text having influenced both the Greek commentators on Aristotle and ‒ through the mediation of Arab scholars - Western medieval philosophy. This volume presents the first edition and study of nearly 700 recently discovered Byzantine scholia, which allow a more exact reconstruction of Alexander's teachings on physics, and at the same time contribute to a better understanding of Aristotelianism and preclassical...
