As an historiographic monograph, this book offers a detailed survey of the professional evolution and significance of an entire discipline devoted to the history of science. It provides both an intellectual and a social history of the development of the subject from the first such effort written by the ancient Greek author Eudemus in the Fourth Century BC, to the founding of the international journal, Historia Mathematica, by Kenneth O. May in the early 1970s.

This book explores the interaction between Europe and East Asia between the 16th and the 18th centuries in the field of mathematical sciences, bringing to the fore the role of Portugal as an agent of transmission of European science to East Asia. It is an important contribution to understanding this fundamental period of scientific history, beginning with the arrival of Vasco da Gama in India in 1498 and ending with the expulsion of the Society of Jesus from Portugal in 1759. The former event opened a new era in relations between Europe and Asia, in particular regarding the circulation of scientific knowledge, leading to major social and intellectual changes in both continents. The Society of Jesus controlled education in Portugal and in the Empire. It was central to the network of knowledge transmission until the Society was expelled from Portugal in 1759.The proceedings have been selected for coverage in: ?

"In the 19th Century, though, mathematics expanded to include mathematical or symbolic logic, and therefore came to be viewed increasingly as the science of relations or of portraying necessary conclusions. The history of mathematics is approximately as old as humanity itself. Since antiquity, mathematics has been ultimate to developments in science, engineering, and philosophy. It has grown from simple measurement and calculation, and the methodical study of the shapes and motions of physical matters, through the application of abstraction, imagination and logic, to the broad, complex and often abstract discipline we know today. Mathematics displays much more robustness in its devotion to concepts and theories than do other sciences. These days history of mathematics is a powerful tool for a disseminating an understanding of mathematics. We look at history as a way of motivating the learner to see the significance of the area being studied. We consider to history as a route to help the learner understand the path of development to a mathematical concept or process. With the history of mathematics, students will come to know that mathematics and science is a work of all civilizations and teachers will find more confidence in teaching. In this book, topics are introduced in their historical contexts will assist students to better gain and appreciate the mathematical ideas involved. It covers number theory, calculus/analysis, and several historically oriented courses and includes chapters on simple groups and combinatorics, and some topics, including the Poincare conjecture. It presents new insights on topics of current interest from broad perspectives and/or reviewing all major developments in an important area over many years. This is not intended as a comprehensive and definitive guide to all of mathematics, but as an easy-to-use summary of the major mathematicians and the developments of mathematical thought over the centuries. This is intended to introduce some of the major thinkers and some of the most important advances in mathematics. "

In recent years, research on the history of early modern cartography has undergone remarkable developments. At the same time, European travel accounts and works on China and Japan are also being investigated more systematically. Finally, studies of translations between European and East Asian languages have highlighted the more general issue of how and to what extent representations of the world that prevailed at one end of Eurasia informed and influenced the representations prevailing at the other end of the continent, sometimes to the point that novel forms of representations were being generated. This volume brings together a series of essays on this theme. It is divided into five sections which address as many topics: the textual representation of the 'Other'; 16th- and 17th-century maps of China, Japan and Vietnam; the phenomenon of hybridisation in visual representations; knowledge and representations of the world in Europe and East Asia; and the circulation of representations of the heavens in astronomy between these two regions.
