Neugebauer, more than any other scholar of recent times, shaped the way we perceive premodern science. Through his scholarship and influence on students and collaborators, he inculcated both an approach to historical research on ancient and medieval mathematics and astronomy through precise mathematical and philological study of texts, and a vision of these sciences as systems of knowledge and method that spread outward from the ancient Near Eastern civilizations, crossing cultural boundaries and circulating over a tremendous geographical expanse of the Old World from the Atlantic to India. 588 0 Online resource; title from PDF title page (Ebsco, viewed February 17, 2016). 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 600 10 Neugebauer, O.|q(Otto),|d1899-1990.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n50003216 600 17 Neugebauer, O.|q(Otto),|d1899-1990.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1731867 650 0 Science|xHistory.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects /sh85118570 650 0 Mathematics|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85082139|xHistory.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh99005024 650 0 Mathematicians|vBiography.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities /subjects/sh2008107557 650 7 Science.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1108176 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 650 7 Mathematics.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1012163 650 7 Mathematicians|xBiography.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1012155 650 7 History of mathematics.|2bicssc 650 7 History of science.|2bicssc 650 7 History.|2bicssc 650 7 SCIENCE|xHistory.|2bisacsh 650 7 Mathematicians.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1012154 655 7 Biographies.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1919896 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 655 7 Biographies.|2lcgft|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ genreForms/gf2014026049 700 1 Jones, Alexander,|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n85184015|eeditor. 700 1 Proust, Christine,|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ nb97061716|eauthor,|eeditor. 700 1 Steele, John M.,|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n00004473|eauthor,|eeditor. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aJones, Alexander.|tA Mathematician's Journeys : Otto Neugebauer and Modern Transformations of Ancient Science.|dCham : Springer International Publishing, ©2015|z9783319258638 830 0 Archimedes (Dordrecht, Netherlands) ;|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/no97034092|vv. 45. 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=1164980|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
