The Riemann curvature through history.
El concepto de curvatura es muy familiar en la Geometría Diferencial. En este artículo se procura mostrar tanto la evolución de su concepto a lo largo de la historia como alguna de sus aplicaciones. En esta exposición existe una limitación tanto en la presenatción de algunos tópicos como en la ausencia de otros que son básicos en la Geometría de Riemann. Entre éstos últimos cabría destacar, entre otros, las variedades minimales y las kählerianas o la teoría de Morse. Aunque de manera implícita,...

The set of paths in a space and its algebraic structure. A historical account
The present paper provides a test case for the significance of the historical category “structuralism” in the history of modern mathematics. We recapitulate the various approaches to the fundamental group present in Poincaré’s work and study how they were developed by the next generations in more “structuralist” manners. By contrasting this development with the late introduction and comparatively marginal use of the notion of fundamental groupoid and the even later consideration of equivalence relations...
