中文简介:
演讲将集中在一个插曲上,在这个插曲中,数学家所做的历史和哲学工作在克服数学困难和介绍对数学未来发展产生重大影响的想法方面发挥了决定性作用。1845年,恩斯特·爱德华·库默(Ernst Eduard Kummer,1810-1893)介绍了他所说的“复数”的“理想因子”。1846年,Kummer首次公开提出了这一概念,这使我们能够追溯让-维克托·庞塞莱(1788-1867)和米歇尔·查斯莱斯(1793-1880)在塑造后来的投影几何时发展起来的历史和哲学反思对这一突破的影响。这一事件表明,将历史和哲学方法作为数学实践的一个组成部分,更系统地纳入数学实践,可能会带来好处。
课程简介: The presentation will focus on an episode in which the historical and philosophical work carried out by mathematicians played a decisive role in overcoming a mathematical difficulty and introducing an idea that had a major impact on future developments in mathematics. The episode in question is the introduction in 1845 by Ernst Eduard Kummer (1810-1893) of the ”ideal factors” of what he called the ”complex numbers”. The first public presentation of this concept by Kummer in 1846 allows us to trace the impact on this breakthrough of the historical and philosophical reflections that Jean-Victor Poncelet (1788-1867) and Michel Chasles (1793-1880) developed while giving shape to what would become projective geometry. This episode suggests the benefits that could derive from a more systematic inclusion of historical and philosophical approaches in the practice of mathematics, as an integral part of it.
