商品描述
This book provides a history and analysis of the ideas, problems, concepts, and theories of dimension from ancient to modern times. It focuses primarily on topological and, to a lesser extent, measure-theoretic approaches.
It offers a detailed account of the contributions of key mathematicians who shaped dimension theory, including Bernard Bolzano, Bernhard Riemann, Georg Cantor, Richard Dedekind, Henri Poincaré, L.E.J. Brouwer, Paul Urysohn, Karl Menger, Witold Hurewicz, Paul Alexandroff, and Felix Hausdorff. The book examines the twists and turns in the development of the subject, including its controversies, and explores the philosophical aspects of its history.
As the first in-depth historical study of dimension theory, it serves as a reference for historians and philosophers of mathematics. It also provides general historical background for students and researchers with broader mathematical interests.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
這本書提供了從古代到現代有關維度的思想、問題、概念和理論的歷史與分析。它主要集中於拓撲學的方法,並在較小程度上探討測度理論的方法。
書中詳細介紹了對維度理論產生影響的關鍵數學家的貢獻,包括伯納德·博爾札諾(Bernard Bolzano)、伯恩哈德·黎曼(Bernhard Riemann)、喬治·康托爾(Georg Cantor)、理查德·德德金德(Richard Dedekind)、亨利·龐加萊(Henri Poincaré)、L.E.J. 布勞威爾(L.E.J. Brouwer)、保羅·尤里索恩(Paul Urysohn)、卡爾·門格爾(Karl Menger)、維托德·胡雷維茨(Witold Hurewicz)、保羅·亞歷山德羅夫(Paul Alexandroff)和費利克斯·豪斯多夫(Felix Hausdorff)。本書探討了該主題發展過程中的曲折,包括其爭議,並探索其歷史的哲學面向。
作為對維度理論的首次深入歷史研究,它為數學史學家和數學哲學家提供了參考。它同時也為對更廣泛數學感興趣的學生和研究者提供了一般的歷史背景。
作者簡介
Dale Johnson worked for many years at the University of Hertfordshire, UK, where he taught and did research in the history and philosophy of mathematics, publishing papers on Bolzano, Brouwer, and the history of dimension theory. In a second career he contributed research in cybersecurity at The MITRE Corporation, publishing several papers in the field. He is now retired.
