More about the book

The book explores the evolution of mathematics from the 1880s to the 1930s, linking its technical advancements to the broader historical concept of modernity. Gray presents a nontechnical synthesis that aims to reshape the understanding of mathematics within cultural history, challenging historians in the field to consider its impact beyond numerical developments. This approach invites a reevaluation of the role mathematics plays in the context of societal changes during this transformative period.
