Abstract

Volker R. Remmert, Martina R. Schneider and Henrik Kragh Sørensen In this volume, we show through detailed case studies, how the historiography of mathematics has been influenced by the contexts and motivations of its practi- tioners. The notion of historiography in the context of history of mathematics holds an important ambiguity: It can mean the history of mathematics or the methodology of the history of mathematics, and naturally these two are intimately related. As historians, we are situated in various discourses that shape the questions We would like to thank J. Barrow-Green, K. Chemla, and D. E. Rowe for their critical readings of earlier drafts of these introductory remarks. Part of the work by Martina R. Schneider leading to this volume has received funding from the European Research Council under the European Union's Seventh Framework Programme (FP7/2007-2013)/ERC Grant agreement n. 269804 “Mathematical Sciences in the Ancient World (SAW)”.
