152 History of Special Sciences 



Heilbronner, Johann Christoph (1706-C.47): 



1742: Historia matheseos universae a mundo condito ad seculum P.C.N. XVI. 

 Praecipuorum mathematicorum vitas, dogmata, scripta et manuscripta complexa. 

 Accedit recensio elementorum, compendiorum et operum mathematicorum atque

Hooper, Alfred: 



1948: Makers of mathematics (402 p. London). 



Kastner, Abraham Gotthelf (1719-1800): 



1796-1800: Geschichte der Mathematik seit der Wiederherstellung der Wissen- 

 schaften bis an das Ende des achtzehnten Jahrhunderts (4 vols., Gottingen). 



The title of this vi'ork is misleading. Vols. 1 and 2 (1786-97) deal with 

 mathematics and mathematical sciences to the end of the sixteenth century, vol. 

 3 (1799) with mathematics to Cartesius, vol. 4 (1800) with mechanics, optics, 

 astronomy from 1600 to 1650. 



Klein, Felix (1849-1925): 



1926-27: Vorlesungen iiber die Entwicklung der Mathematik im 19. Jahrhun- 

 dert (2 vols., 608 p., Berlin, Springer; Isis 9, 447-49; 10, 505). 



Le Lionnais, F. (editor):

Loria, Gino (1862- ; Osiris 7, 1939): 



1929-33: Storia delle matematiche (3 vols. Torino; Isis 13, 228; 19, 231; 22, 

 598). Revised ed. in 1 vol. (1012 p., Milano 1950; Isis 42, 63). 



1937: Scritti, conferenze, discorsi suUa storia delle matematiche (614 p., 

 Padova; Isis 27, 522-24). 



Marie, Maximilien (1819-91): 



1883-88: Histoire des sciences mathematiques et physiques (12 vols., Paris). 



Montucla, Jean Etienne (1725-99; Osiris 1, 519-67): 



1758-1802: Histoire des mathematiques (2 vols., Paris 1758). Vol. 1 deals 

 with the history down to 1600, vol. 2 with the seventeenth century. — New edition 

 completed by Jerome de Lalande (1732-1807), with two more volumes covering 

 the eighteenth century (4 vols., Paris 1799-1802). 



This is the best of the early histories; it deals not only with mathematics but 

 also less elaborately with mathematical sciences (mechanics, physics, astronomy). 

 It is especially valuable for the study of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. 



MuUer, Felix (1843-1928): 



1892: Zeittafeln zur Geschichte der Mathematik, Physik und Astronomie bis 

 zimi Jahre 1500 (108 p., Leipzig).
