MPIWG_PROJECTS:
The Evolution of Cosmological Knowledge from the Middle Ages to the Eighteenth Century
Zusammenfassung:
A student of mathematics at university is likely to encounter very similar material in the early years whether they enroll in Berlin, Beijing or Boston. In this video, Matteo Valleriani asks how this homogenization of scientific knowledge occurs. Looking at various aspects of mathematical study at universities between the 12th and 17th centuries, Valleriani’s work combines history, philosophy and computer science in the frame of an emerging discipline known as computational history.
