Plato (428/427 BC – 348/347 BC) is important in the history of mathematics for inspiring and guiding others. [52] His Platonic Academy, in Athens, became the mathematical center of the world in the 4th century BC, and it was from this school that the leading mathematicians of the day, such as Eudoxus of Cnidus (c. 390 - c. 340 BC), came.

Under the inspiration drawn from the book series specializing in publishing classical texts exclusively in the original languages, such as the Bibliotheca Teubneriana, established in 1849 or the Oxford Classical Texts book series, founded in 1894, [2] the Loeb Classical Library was conceived and initially funded by the Jewish-German-American banker and philanthropist James Loeb (1867–1933).

Authors are still producing original books in Latin today. This page lists contemporary or recent books (from the 21st, 20th and 19th centuries) originally written in Latin . These books are not called "new" because the term Neo-Latin or New Latin refers to books written as early as the 1500s, which is "newer" than Classical Antiquity or the ...

This is a timeline of pure and applied mathematics history.It is divided here into three stages, corresponding to stages in the development of mathematical notation: a "rhetorical" stage in which calculations are described purely by words, a "syncopated" stage in which quantities and common algebraic operations are beginning to be represented by symbolic abbreviations, and finally a "symbolic ...
Gerolamo Cardano (Italian: [dʒeˈrɔːlamo karˈdaːno]; also Girolamo [1] or Geronimo; [2] French: Jérôme Cardan; Latin: Hieronymus Cardanus; 24 September 1501– 21 September 1576) was an Italian polymath whose interests and proficiencies ranged through those of mathematician, physician, biologist, physicist, chemist, astrologer, astronomer, philosopher, music theorist, writer, and ...
The eminent historian of mathematics Carl Boyer once called Euler's Introductio in analysin infinitorum the greatest modern textbook in mathematics. [32] Published in two volumes, [ 33 ] [ 34 ] this book more than any other work succeeded in establishing analysis as a major branch of mathematics, with a focus and approach distinct from that ...
