ICHM Special Session July 10, 2004 June Barrow-Green, President of the BSHM, opened the special session with an address documenting and paying tribute to Ivor Grattan-Guinness s long and distinguished career in the history of mathematics. Adrian Rice, programme chair for the meeting, paid tribute to Ivor's many contributions to the field and called attention to the ICHM sponsorship of the special session. Speakers at the speci al session also drew attention to his mastery of archival sources, the sensitivity shown in his writings to foundational questions, and the stimulation and encouragement he has given to younger scholars over the years through his participation at conferences and his travels abroad. www.math.uu.nl /ichm/bshm.html   (855 words)

BSHM: Abstracts -- G Grattan-Guinness, Ivor, 2001c, ‘The interest of G. Hardy FRS in the philosophy and the history of mathematics’, Notes and Records of the Royal Society 55, 411-424. Grattan-Guinness, Ivor, ‘Structure-similarity as a cornerstone of the philosophy of mathematics’, in J. Echeverria, A. Ibarra and T. Mormann (eds), The space of mathematics: Philosophical, epistemological, and historical explorations, Berlin: W de Gruyter, 1992, 91-111 Contemporary and subsequent dismay over the mathematical weakness revealed in Hobbes’ rash arguments with Wallis should be balanced by recognising his insight into the relevance of mathematics and the wider role of geometry as the model science. www.dcs.warwick.ac.uk /bshm/abstracts/G.html   (6944 words)

Ivor Grattan-Guinness Ivor Grattan-Guiness is a distinguished historian of mathematics at Middlesex University Business School, who has been a fellow at the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton and is a member of the Academie Internationale d'Histoire des Sciences. His work spans all historical periods, but he has been especially interested in characterising the differences with how past thinkers far removed from us view their findings, and has emphasised the importance of ignorance in this task. www.worldhistory.com /wiki/I/Ivor-Grattan-Guinness.htm   (215 words)

Departing From Frege: Essays in the Philosophy of Language :: Ephilosopher :: Philosophy News, Research and Philosophical Discussion Once (as Ivor Grattan-Guinness has argued) there was a mathematician who wrote in German, whose preoccupation with founding mathematics on a Platonic theory of meaning “rules him out as a founder of the Anglo-Saxon tradition of analytic philosophy of this century”. www.ephilosopher.com /article561.html   (462 words)

Ivars Peterson's MathTrek - The Galois Story In the quirky, recently published Norton History of the Mathematical Sciences, Ivor Grattan-Guinness declares that "Galois was known around town as a loud-mouthed and opinionated republican, not a good reputation to have either before or after the 1830 revolution." Rothman points out that Galois's own arrogance, erratic temperament, and self-destructive tendencies contributed greatly to his difficulties in getting his mathematical ideas accepted, to his failure to pass the exam necessary to get into the prestigious École Polytechnique, and to his political misfortunes and eventual downfall. As for Galois's final night, Rothman debunks the romantic notion of a doomed genius working feverishly by candlelight to commit his revolutionary theory of equations and groups to paper. www.maa.org /mathland/mathtrek_3_1_99.html   (806 words)

Textbookx.com - Product Details While many books have been written about Bertrand Russell's philosophy and some on his logic, Ivor Grattan-Guinness has written the first comprehensive history of the mathematical background, content, and impact of the mathematical logic and philosophy of mathematics that Russell developed with A.
