Jeremy Gray Livres

Cet ouvrage raconte l'histoire des 23 problèmes que le grand mathématicien allemand David Hilbert a proposés à la sagacité des mathématiciens lors d'un congrès à Paris, en 1900. Ces problèmes ont considérablement influencé la recherche en mathématiques depuis cette date. Jeremy Gray propose une vision générale du développement des mathématiques de la fin du XIX e siècle à nos jours. Pour ce faire, il a replacé les mathématiques dans leur contexte historique, social et culturel. On trouve ainsi de nombreux développements sur différentes écoles de mathématiques : Bourbaki en France, l'école soviétique, les mathématiques aux Etats-Unis... et des notices biographiques sur de grands mathématiciens. Les problèmes sont présentés sans formalisme excessif (quelques compléments mathématiques sont présentés en encarts), ce qui rend le texte accessible à un large lectorat . Pierre Cartier présente en Introduction à la version française de ce livre : «les défis relevés par les mathématiciens de l'ère "post-hilbertienne"».

Approximately fifty articles that were published in The Mathematical Intelligencer during its first eighteen years. The selection demonstrates the wide variety of attractive articles that have appeared over the years, ranging from general interest articles of a historical nature to lucid expositions of important current discoveries. Each article is introduced by the editors. "...The Mathematical Intelligencer publishes stylish, well-illustrated articles, rich in ideas and usually short on proofs. ...Many, but not all articles fall within the reach of the advanced undergraduate mathematics major. ... This book makes a nice addition to any undergraduate mathematics collection that does not already sport back issues of The Mathematical Intelligencer." D.V. Feldman, University of New Hamphire, CHOICE Reviews, June 2001.

Shares insights into the mysteries of human sexuality, examining, gender differences in sexual desire, the need for communication, and the art of sexual satisfaction.

This book contains a history of real and complex analysis in the nineteenth century, from the work of Lagrange and Fourier to the origins of set theory and the modern foundations of analysis.

Focusing on the 19th-century development of geometric function theory, this study explores the intersection of hypergeometric and related linear differential equations, group theory, and non-Euclidean geometry. It delves into how these mathematical areas converged to create a unified vision, highlighting the significance of these concepts in advancing mathematical thought during that era.

Focusing on the period from 1880 to 1920, the book explores the evolution of mathematics as a modernist movement akin to developments in art and literature. Jeremy Gray investigates the interplay between mathematics and various disciplines such as physics, philosophy, and psychology. He highlights the popularization of mathematics and its role in shaping the professional identity of mathematicians. Additionally, the work delves into the profound, often unanswerable questions that arose from this modernist transformation, showcasing its broader cultural implications.

Based on the latest historical research, Worlds Out of Nothing is the first book to provide a course on the history of geometry in the 19th century. Topics include projective geometry, especially the concept of duality, non- Euclidean geometry, and more.
