Bücher von Isaac Todhunter

A thorough and standard work in the field. Isaac Todhunter (1820-1884) gave a close and carefully reasoned account of the difficulties involved and the solutions offered by each investigator. His studies and use of source materials were thorough and fully documented. His reputation rests on the contribution he made to the history of mathematics.

Published in 1874, this two-volume work by Isaac Todhunter (1820-84), perhaps the greatest Victorian historian of mathematics, takes an important mathematical story from Newton, through the expeditions which settled certain questions in Newton's favour, to the investigations of Laplace which opened a new era in mathematical physics.

An indefatigable mathematician and university teacher at Cambridge, Isaac Todhunter (1820-84) is best remembered for his successful textbooks. This 1865 publication traces the progress of probability theory from its roots in the seventeenth century through to the early nineteenth century and Pierre-Simon Laplace's wide-ranging coverage of the subject.

A distinguished mathematician and notable university teacher, Isaac Todhunter (1820-84) became known in his time for his successful textbooks. Edited and completed by Karl Pearson (1857-1936), and published between 1886 and 1893, this three-part work traces the mathematical understanding of elasticity from Galileo to Lord Kelvin.

The mathematician Isaac Todhunter (1820-84) was an examiner for the University of Cambridge and a successful textbook author. In this collection of six essays, first published in 1873, he expresses his views on various facets of mathematical education in England, which was the object of intense debate in the nineteenth century.
