In this monograph, Høyrup explores how the abbacus tradition has developed in Europe, with a focus on Italy and Germany between the 14th and the 17th Century. With the analysis of texts from Fibonacci, Pacioli, and Stifel to name but a few, this book offers a critical historical analysis of the development and diffusion of a tradition of calculus that has deeply influenced the way in which mathematics has developed in the West. The primary purpose of the book is to present a fairly detailed portrait of the abbacus tradition as it developed historically; as will be argued, Fibonacci was much less important for the emergence of this tradition than mostly assumed – but since his importance isbroadly taken for granted, that argument needs to be made, for which reason Fibonacci’s .Liber Abbaci. is also described and analyzed in some depth. A secondary purpose is to show how the adoption of abbacus mathematic | | 出版日期 | Book 2024 | | 关键词 | Abacus Tradition; Fibonacci; History of Mathematics in Europe; Mathematics between the 14th and 17th Ce | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-25164-1 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-031-25163-4 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-031-25164-1Series ISSN 2662-2564 Series E-ISSN 2662-2572 | | issn_series | 2662-2564 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
