Ronald S. Calinger. Leonhard Euler
The contributions to mathematics of Leonhard Euler (1707–1783) are of such enormous breadth and depth that they defy concise description. His work in pure mathematics encompassed analysis, number theory, topology, combinatorics, graph theory, algebra, and geometry (among other fields). In applied mathematics, he made fundamental contributions to mechanics, hydraulics, acoustics, optics, and astronomy. In point of fact, there is scarcely a branch …

La Contre-Réforme mathématique
The decline and fall of Hobbesian geometry
Mechanismus und Subjektivitat in der Philosophie von Thomas Hobbes . Michael Esfeld
Discipline and Experience
756 Book Reviews TECHNOLOGY AND CULTURE stories one might have thought had been long since discredited (such as William Kelly’s successful anticipation of Henry Bessemer’s process of making steel). And, despite an occasional nod toward power relations, the book pays no attention to issues ofrace, gender, or class. I was particularly struck by the author’s heavy reliance on superlatives. Archimedes, “the famed mathematician and mechani cal genius…
Discipline and Experience
Although the scientific revolution has long been regarded as the beginning of modern science, there has been little consensus about its true character. While the application of mathematics to the study of the natural world has always been recognized as an important factor, the role of experiment has been less clearly understood. Peter Dear investigates the nature of the change that occurred during this period, focusing particular attention on evo…

Berkeley's Philosophy of Mathematics
In this first modern, critical assessment of the place of mathematics in Berkeley's philosophy and Berkeley's place in the history of mathematics, Douglas M. Jesseph provides a bold reinterpretation of Berkeley's work. Jesseph challenges the prevailing view that Berkeley's mathematical writings are peripheral to his philosophy and argues that mathematics is in fact central to his thought, developing out of his critique of abstraction. Jesseph's a…
