Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This monograph presents a groundbreaking scholarly treatment of the German mathematician Jost B�rgi's original work on logarithms, Arithmetische und Geometrische Progre� Tabulen. It provides the first-ever English translation of B�rgi's text and illuminates his role in the development of the conception of logarithms, for which John Napier is traditionally given priority. High-resolution scans of each page of the his handwritten text are reproduced for the reader and as a means of preserving an important work for which there are very few surviving copies.The book begins with a brief biography of B�rgi to familiarize readers with his life and work, as well as to offer an historical context in which to explore his contributions. The second chapter then describes the extant copies of the Arithmetische und Geometrische Progre� Tabulen, with a detailed description of the copy that is the focus of this book, the 1620 'Graz manuscript'. A complete facsimile of the text is included in the next chapter, along with a corresponding transcription and an English translation; a transcription of a second version of the manuscript (the 'Gdansk manuscript') is included alongside that of the Graz edition so that readers can easily and closely examine the differences between the two. The final chapter considers two important questions about B�rgi's work, such as who was the copyist of the Graz manuscript and what the relationship is between the Graz and Gdansk versions. Appendices are also included that contain a timeline of B�rgi's life, the underlying concept of Napier's construction of logarithms, and scans of all 58 sheets of the tables from B�rgi's text.Anyone with an appreciation for the history of mathematics will find this book to be an insightful and interesting look at an important and often overlooked work. It will also be a valuable resource for undergraduates taking courses in the history of mathematics, researchers of the history of mathematics, and professors of mathematics education who wish to incorporate historical context into their teaching. 272 pp. Englisch.
