Symbols, Impossible Numbers, and Geometric Entanglements: British Algebra through the Commentaries on Newton's Universal Arithmetick
Pycior, Helena M. (University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee)
This is the first history of the development and reception of algebra in early modern England and Scotland. Professor Pycior analyses the struggles of a dozen British thinkers to come to terms with early modern algebra and uncovers these thinkers as a 'test-group' for the symbolic reasoning that would radically change not only mathematics but also logic, philosophy and language studies.
