Description:

The Latin Tradition. This book deals with the mathematics of the medieval West between ca. 500 and 1100, the period before the translations from Arabic and Greek had their impact. Four of the studies appear for the first time in English. Among the topics treated are the Roman surveyors agrimensores recreational mathematics in the period of Bede and Alcuin geometrical texts compiled in Corbie and Lorraine from Latin sources from late antiquity the abacus at the time of Gerbert pope Sylvester II. and a board-game invented in the first half of the 11th century the Rithmimachia to help people to learn mathematics.
