He now serves on the editorial board of the Revue d'histoire des mathématiques.
“This volume is absolutely indispensable reading for anyone who wants to understand the development of mathematics in the 20th and 21st century. It shows how historical context is part of the most abstract concepts – an astounding accomplishment.” -- Dennis Lehmkuhl, University of Bonn, Germany “This volume is absolutely indispensable reading for anyone who wants to understand the development of mathematics in the 20th and 21st century.
