In their respective area of specialization, all contributors offer stimulating approaches to questions of historical and historiographical 'revolutions' and 'continuity'. Taken together, they provide a powerful lens for evaluating the applicability of Thomas Kuhn's ideas on 'scientific revolutions' to the discipline of ancient Greek mathematics. Besides the latest historiographical studies on 'geometrical algebra' and 'premodern algebra', the reader will find here some papers which offer new insights into the controversial relationship between Greek and pre- Hellenic mathematical practices. Some other contributions place emphasis on the other edge of the historical spectrum, by exploring historical lines of 'continuity' between ancient Greek, Byzantine and post-Hellenic mathematics. The terminology employed by Greek mathematicians, along with various non-textual and material elements, is another topic which some of the essays in the volume explore. Finally, the last three articles focus on a traditionally rich source on ancient Greek mathematics; namely the works of Plato and Aristotle. 546 In English. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Mathematics, Greek.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85082177 650 0 Geometry|xHistory.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh2008105184 650 7 Mathematics, Greek.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1012363 650 7 Geometry.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/940864 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 700 1 Sialaros, Michalis,|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ no2018080243|eeditor. 776 08 |iPrint version:|tRevolutions and continuity in Greek mathematics.|dBerlin : De Gruyter, [2018]|z3110563657 |w(DLC) 2018934241|w(OCoLC)1014167640 830 0 Science, technology, and medicine in ancient cultures ; |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2013058586|vv. 8. 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=1800867|zOnline eBook via EBSCO.
