Description
Rowe captures the rich tapestry of mathematical creativity in this collection of essays from the “Years Ago” column of The Mathematical Intelligencer.
David E. Rowe is professor emeritus for history of mathematics and natural sciences at the Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz. He studied mathematics (Ph.D. 1981) and history of science (M.A. 1980) at the University of Oklahoma and then took a second doctorate in history at the CUNY Graduate Center, while teaching for ten years at Pace University in New York. Rowe spent two years in Göttingen as a fellow of the Alexander von Humboldt Stiftung, and much of his research relates to the Göttingen mathematical tradition. He has written or edited over 100 books and articles and has been invited to lecture at many institutions throughout Europe and North America. With Robert Schulmann he co-edited the sourcebook Einstein on Politics: His Private Thoughts and Public Stands on Nationalism, Zionism, War, Peace, and the Bomb, Princeton, 2007.
