That natural logarithms may be constructed from Napier's logarithms is no surprise to a modern mathematician, but the thought that this might have been done within ten years of Napier's original publication seems a historical impossibility, since by

Historians believe that the discovery of the irrationality of √2, or, as it would have been described in classical Greek mathematics, the incommensurability of the side and diagonal of a square, was made in the period 550–410 bc. None of the earl

On 22 September 1636, Fermat wrote to Roberval, [I, FO.II.XIII, p.71], saying that he had found the quadrature of an infinite number of curves. He named in particular the ‘solid parabola’, y = x3, and said that his method was different from Archi

Counting elephants ought to be easy. It is not. Counting elephants lost to poaching is even harder. But, without knowledge of both, how can we know whether banning the sale of ivory is helping to save elephants? Bob Burn explains the problems.

Neil Bibby made many substantial contributions to history of mathematics education in the UK and to the BSHM in particular. He and his mother each left generous legacies to the Society. His former colleague Bob Burn was invited to give a lecture in h

This paper proposes a genetic development of the concept of limit of a sequence leading to a definition, through a succession of proofs rather than through a succession of sequences or a succession of es. The major ideas on which it is based are hist

The Belgian Jesuit, Gregory of St Vincent (1584 - 1667), along with Cavaleri, Fermat and Descartes was amongst those who prepared the way for the calculus of Newton and Leibniz. He was the author of one long book Opus Geometricum (1647) in which he g
