Mathematics at Maynooth Until 1850: Teachers, Teaching, and Textsthematics, the material that they taught, and the college’s mathematical collection. To place these in context, we start with a brief overview of events that led to the college’s establishment. Then, interrogating a range of sources, including archival materials and various histories, which feature

Christian Wolff’s ,, Methodology, and Mathematical Educationns of mathematics despite his having had a vast mathematical production. The main reason for this neglect is that Wolff was not an original mathematician, his mathematical activity being predominantly devoted to the writing of textbooks and compendia. In this contribution, I shall survey his most su

Anticipating ,—Understanding Berkeley’s Early Mathematical Antagonism Through Contemporary Textsished in 1734 and was the subject of much discussion in the learned world—some of it highly contentious. In this article, the motivations for that critical work are explored through Berkeley’s earlier engagements with mathematicians and the status of their work in contemporary philosophy. It is argu
