Mathematics in the archives: deconstructive historiography and the shaping of modern geometry (1837–1852)
Descripción general
Resumen del artículo
French geometer Michel Chasles intertwined historical research and mathematical practice, using "epistemic techniques" like archival research, deconstructive historiography, and periodization to shape his theories. His work demonstrates how analyzing past geometrical methods and notational technologies helped him develop novel approaches and modernize geometry.
