General numeration II. Division schemes.

D. W. Dubois (1982)

Revista Matemática Hispanoamericana

This is the second in a series of two papers on numeration schemes. Whereas the first paper emphasized grouping as exemplified in the partition of a number so as to obtain its base two numeral, the present paper takes at its point of departure the method of repeated divisions, as in the calculation of the base two numeral for a number by dividing it by two, then dividing the quotient by two, etc., and collecting the remainders. This method is a sort of classification scheme - odd or even.

Genèse des premiers espaces vectoriels de fonctions

Jean-Luc Dorier (1996)

Revue d'histoire des mathématiques

Cet article examine comment la notion d’espace vectoriel de fonctions s’est peu à peu imposée dans l’analyse entre 1880 et 1930 environ. Malgré certaines approches formelles précoces, les questions linéaires en dimension infinie sont longtemps restées marquées par l’analogie avec la dimension finie, que l’on traitait alors à l’aide des déterminants. Nous regardons comment l’étude de l’équation de Fredholm d’une part, en particulier le travail de Hilbert, et l’émergence de notions topologiques d’autre...

Geometrical Patterns in the Pre-classical Greek Area. Prospecting the Borderland between Decoration, Art, and Structural Inquiry

Jens Høyrup (2000)

Revue d'histoire des mathématiques

Many general histories of mathematics mention prehistoric “geometric” decorations along with counting and tally-sticks as the earliest beginnings of mathematics, insinuating thus (without making it too explicit) that a direct line of development links such decorations to mathematical geometry. The article confronts this persuasion with a particular historical case: the changing character of geometrical decorations in the later Greek area from the Middle Neolithic through the first millennium bce.The...
