History of Mathematics
Our Research
The History of Mathematics Research Group studies the origins and development of mathematical ideas and methods from the beginnings of recorded history鈥攊n all societies and cultures. Research in this area involves:
- The editing and translating, and commentary on important mathematical texts
- The historical development of areas of mathematics, such as calculus, abstract algebra, and topology
- A study of how the development of mathematics has affected, and been affected by academic, religious, or scientific institutions or other humanistic or scientific aspects of culture
The Department of Mathematics offers both an MSc and PhD in History of Mathematics. We have one professor specializing in the History of Mathematics: , who focuses on ancient and medieval mathematics. Students who are interested in pursuing studies in the history of mathematics are encouraged to contact either professor via email.
