What is an experiment in mathematical practice? New evidence from mining the Mathematical Reviews
From a purely formalist viewpoint on the philosophy of mathematics, experiments cannot (and should not) play a role in warranting mathematical statements but must be confined to heuristics. Yet, due to the incorporation of new mathematical methods such as computer-assisted experimentation in mathematical practice, experiments are now conducted and used in a much broader range of epistemic practices such as concept formation, validation, and commu…
The role of testimony in mathematics
Mathematicians writing for mathematicians
Historiography of Mathematics in the 19th and 20th Centuries
The Irony of Romantic Mathematics
This essay juxtaposes a particular a set of novel mathematical ideas from the early nineteenth century with a synchronous development in literary criticism. Important mathematical discoveries of the 1820s, such as non-Euclidean geometries, new impossibility results, and new proof ideals, exhibit structural similarities with notions of Romantic irony expressed by literary critic and philosopher Friedrich Schlegel (1772-1829). The essay shows how b…
