Sayın Liste Üyeleri,

Bu yılın son seçkin seminerinde, yarın (Perşembe) saat 18.00'de, ünlü
matematik tarihçisi Judith V. Grabiner'i ağırlıyoruz. Bu konuşmamızın,
içeriğiyle  genç, olgun tüm matematikçilerimizin büyük ilgisini çekeceğini
umuyoruz.

Where Sufficient Reason Isn’t Enough

Euclid’s Elements is the most influential textbook in the history of
western civilization, a model of reasoning not only in mathematics but in
philosophy, theology, and politics. But Euclid’s geometry rests on
postulates, one of which didn’t seem self-evident from the start.
Mathematicians kept trying to prove that postulate, especially, as we’ll
see, Lagrange. But meanwhile, the unchallenged authority of the Euclidean
ideal was used by people like Newton, Voltaire, Euler, and Lagrange to
support the Enlightenment world-view. In the nineteenth century, though,
non-Euclidean geometries challenged the authority of mathematics,
undermined fundamental philosophical and cultural ideas, and had a hand in
the birth of modernism. Challenges came not only from scientists like
Gauss, Lobachevsky, Helmholtz, and Einstein, but also from artists and
philosophers. This story illustrates both how culture helps shape
mathematics and how mathematics has shaped the modern world.
