From Kant to Hilbert Volume 1: A Source Book in the Foundations of Mathematics by William Bragg Ewald (PDF)

Description

Immanuel Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason is widely taken to be the starting point of the modern period of mathematics while David Hilbert was the last great mainstream mathematician to pursue important nineteenth century ideas. This two-volume work provides an overview of this important era of mathematical research through a carefully chosen selection of articles. They provide an insight into the foundations of each of the main branches of mathematics – algebra, geometry, number theory, analysis, logic, and set theory – with narratives to show how they are linked. Classic works by Bolzano, Riemann, Hamilton, Dedekind, and Poincare are reproduced in reliable translations and many selections from writers such as Gauss, Cantor, Kronecker, and Zermelo are here translated for the first time. The collection is an invaluable source for anyone wishing to gain an understanding of the foundation of modern mathematics.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐It is a great collection of translated important mathematical works and especially those relating to the foundations of mathematics. Among its very few flaws, William Ewald appears to be ignorant that Nicolaus Bourbaki is a pseudonym for a group of (primarily French) mathematicians.

⭐Excellent !
