Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Knowledge and the Early Modern City uses case studies from the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries to examine the relationships between knowledge and the city and how these changed in a period when the nature and conception of both was drastically transformed. Both knowledge formation and the European city were increasingly caught up in broader institutional structures and regional and global networks of trade and exchange during the early modern period. Moreover, new ideas about the relationship between nature and the transcendent, as well as technological transformations, impacted upon both considerably. This book addresses the entanglement between knowledge production and the early modern urban environment while incorporating approaches to the city and knowledge in which both are seen as emerging from hybrid networks in which human and non-human elements continually interact and acquire meaning. It highlights how new forms of knowledge and new conceptions of the urban co-emerged in highly contingent practices, shedding a new light on present-day ideas about the impact of cities on knowledge production and innovation. Providing the ideal starting point for those seeking to understand the role of urban institutions, actors and spaces in the production of knowledge and the development of the so-called ‘modern’ knowledge society, this is the perfect resource for students and scholars of early modern history and knowledge.

Download or read book De Sphaera of Johannes de Sacrobosco in the Early Modern Period written by Matteo Valleriani and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-01-01 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book explores commentaries on an influential text of pre-Copernican astronomy in Europe. It features essays that take a close look at key intellectuals and how they engaged with the main ideas of this qualitative introduction to geocentric cosmology. Johannes de Sacrobosco compiled his Tractatus de sphaera during the thirteenth century in the frame of his teaching activities at the then recently founded University of Paris. It soon became a mandatory text all over Europe. As a result, a tradition of commentaries to the text was soon established and flourished until the second half of the 17th century. Here, readers will find an informative overview of these commentaries complete with a rich context. The essays explore the educational and social backgrounds of the writers. They also detail how their careers developed after the publication of their commentaries, the institutions and patrons they were affiliated with, what their agenda was, and whether and how they actually accomplished it. The editor of this collection considers these scientific commentaries as genuine scientific works. The contributors investigate them here not only in reference to the work on which it comments but also, and especially, as independent scientific contributions that are socially, institutionally, and intellectually contextualized around their authors.

Download or read book Apolog a de un matem tico written by Godfrey Harold Hardy and published by Capitán Swing Libros. This book was released on 2019-12-23 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: G.H. Hardy fue uno de los mejores matemáticos de este siglo, reconocido entre sus contemporáneos como un "matemático auténtico, el más puro entre los puros". Esta Apología, escrita emotivamente cuando su poder creativo matemático estaba ya en su ocaso, es un relato brillante y cautivador de las matemáticas consideradas como mucho más que una ciencia, que nos proporciona una de las mejores visiones de cómo discurre la mente de un matemático en pleno proceso de trabajo. De hecho, este libro está ampliamente considerado como una de las mejores penetraciones en la mente de un matemático profesional, escrita para profanos. En sus páginas, Hardy defiende el valor de la matemática teórica más abstracta y la belleza como valor indispensable de las buenas teorías matemáticas por encima de otros valores como su aplicabilidad o relevancia para los problemas de física. Cuando fue publicada en inglés por primera vez, Graham Greene la aclamó, junto con los cuadernos de notas de Henry James, como "la mejor narración de lo que representa el ser un artista creativo". El prólogo de C. P. Snow a la edición inglesa proporciona algunas claves de la vida de Hardy, incluyendo las anécdotas relativas a su colaboración con el matemático indio Ramanujan, sus aforismos y su pasión por el críquet. Este es un relato único de la fascinación por las matemáticas y de uno de sus exponentes más convincentes de los tiempos modernos.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DISFRUTA DE LAS MATEMÁTICAS COMO NUNCA Incluso los estudiantes de matemáticas más entusiastas y apasionados se habrán preguntado, alguna vez, cuándo podrían utilizar todos esos conocimientos que estaban adquiriendo en la «vida real». Lo cierto es que las matemáticas están tan presentes en nuestro mundo que, las ames o las odies, todos las estamos utilizando cada día. David Darling y Agnijo Banerjee nos enseñarán algunos de estos aspectos mundanos en los que entran las matemáticas. De este modo, nos acompañarán en la búsqueda del laberinto perfecto, viajaremos con ellos al siglo II en busca de los misterios que encierran las pompas de jabón (o las «burbujas matemáticas»), nos acercarán a los matemáticos más peculiares de la historia y transformarán lo desconcertante en hermoso, deleitándonos una vez tras otra. Pero abordarán muchos misterios más, por ejemplo, dado que siempre hay algo en el lugar de la nada, ¿podría existir la nada? ¿Se podría diseñar un laberinto perfecto? ¿Y observar un acontecimiento cuántico antes de que sea real? ¿Sabes cuáles son los siete números que rigen el universo?, ¿o qué formas geométricas son imposibles de materializarse? Si piensas que esta disciplina no podría ser más apasionante, esta obra va a sumergirte en el mundo de las matemáticas a través del arte, del diseño de laberintos o de la física cuántica, entre otros campos. Déjate seducir por las matemáticas y viaja por ese limbo que existe entre lo posible y lo imposible.
