Call for applications:
We invite applications from graduate students, 老师, and junior research postdocs in the history of mathematics as well as mathematicians seeking to engage more critically with historical subjects and methodology to attend "Luigi Maierù’s international school in the history of mathematics" to be held in the wonderful location of Cetraro (Cosenza, 南意大利), 5月24日至26日, 2024.
The aim of this School in the history of mathematics is to gather early career historians of mathematics and scholars from different backgrounds who are approaching the discipline for the first time in a space to explore both content and tools for research and teaching.
This first edition will focus on the mathematics developed by Pappus in his Book VII. 通过讲座, 阅读, 和讨论, Pappus’ work will serve as the starting point for the development of broader temporal and geographical considerations in the history of mathematics (about Ancient mathematics, the connections with the Arabic sources, 史学, 等.).
Each day will be organized around formal lectures, structured classroom time, and informal conversations. Participants will receive reading materials for analysis in advance. Lectures will be held in English.
The International School will take place in Cetraro, Grand Hotel San Michele.
