Mathematics and Logic in History and in Contemporary Thought

This book is not a conventional history of mathematics as such, a museum of documents and scientifi c curiosities. Instead, it identifi es this vital science with the thought of those who constructed it and in its relation to the changing cultural context in which it evolved. Particular emphasis is placed on the philosophic and logical systems, from Aristotle onward, that provide the basis for the fusion of mathematics and logic in contemporary thought.Carruccio, Ettore is the author of 'Mathematics and Logic in History and in Contemporary Thought' with ISBN 9780202308500 and ISBN 0202308502.
