An Exciting New Arabic Version of Euclid’s Elements: MS Mumbai, MULLĀ FĪ RŪ Z R.I.6

Sonja Brentjes (2006)

Revue d'histoire des mathématiques

This paper introduces an anonymous and undated Arabic version of Euclid’s Elements. It tries to determine its relationship to the textual history of the Arabic Elements as known today. The value of the version, the paper argues, is its close relationship to the works of the first known translator of Euclid’s Elements into Arabic, al-Ḥajjāj b.Yūsuf b.Maṭar, the light it sheds on philosophical debates surrounding the Elements, and the new textual basis (BooksI toIX with some lacunae) it yields for...

An objective and practical method for describing and understanding ratios

D. H. Fowler (1993)

Mathématiques et Sciences Humaines

This article explores the use of the euclidian algorithm as a most useful way of handling ratios, especially when good rational approximations are required. Illustrations are taken from a discussion of the analysis of greek architecture by J.J Coulton. Although this is intended as a practical account, some discussions of theoretical aspects are included, and also of the relationship of this procedure to a new interpretation of early greek mathematics.

An Online Repository of Mathematical Samples

Baker, Josef B., Sexton, Alan P., Sorge, Volker (2009)

Towards a Digital Mathematics Library. Grand Bend, Ontario, Canada, July 8-9th, 2009

With a growing community of researchers working on the recognition, parsing and digital exploitation of mathematical formulae, a need has arisen for a set of samples or benchmarks which can be used to compare, evaluate and help to develop different implementations and algorithms. The benchmark set would have to cover a wide range of mathematics, contain enough information to be able to search for specific samples and be accessible to the whole community. In this paper, we propose an on-line system...

Anketa L’Enseignement Mathématique a Matyáš Lerch

L’ubomíra Dvořáková, Jiří Veselý (2016)

Pokroky matematiky, fyziky a astronomie

Článek přibližuje vznik časopisu L’Enseignement Mathématique, který je oficiálním periodikem International Commission on Mathematical Instruction. Časopis před více než 100 lety uspořádal anketu o způsobu práce matematiků a té se zúčastnil i Matyáš Lerch. Přinášíme jeho odpovědi na vybrané otázky i některé jeho názory. Celé obsáhlé Lerchovo dílo bude přístupné i prostřednictvím DML-CZ.
