Meer over het boek
The book explores a pivotal shift in European mathematics during the nineteenth century, focusing on the Kingdom of Naples' unique response. From 1790 to 1830, Neapolitan mathematicians rejected French analysis, advocating for a return to Greek-style geometry and emphasizing pure mathematics over algebraic manipulation. This movement, seen as reactionary, was a critique of modern mathematical applications in social and political contexts, aiming to challenge the legitimacy of analysis used by technocrats. Mazzotti's work reveals the intricate connection between mathematical knowledge and societal order.
