Distributivity-like results in the Medieval traditions of Euclid's elements: Between geometry and arithmetic

Research output: Book/ReportBookpeer-review

Abstract

This book provides a fresh view on an important and largely overlooked aspect of the Euclidean traditions in the medieval mathematical texts, particularly concerning the interrelations between geometry and arithmetic, and the rise of algebraic modes of thought. It appeals to anyone interested in the history of mathematics in general and in history of medieval and early modern science.
