Number Theory or arithmetic, as some prefer to call it, is the oldest, purest, liveliest, most elementary yet sophisticated field of mathematics. It is no coincidence that the fundamental science of numbers has come to be known as the 'Queen of Mathematics'. Indeed some of the most complex conventions of the mathematical mind have evolved from the ...

As a contribution to the history of mathematics, this is a model of its kind. While adhering to the basic outlook of Eisenstein and Kronecker, it provides new insight into their work in the light of subsequent developments, right up to the present day. As one would expect from this author, it also contains some pertinent comments looking into the ...
This volume contains the work of the great Swiss mathematician on differential geometry, a field marked by some of his greatest achievements. In the 1680s, Leibniz had given the first public hints of his "new method", differential and integral calculus. Together with Huygens, Tschirnhaus and L'Hopital, Jacob Bernoulli and his younger brother ...
