History of mathematics from the Antiquity to the XVIIIth century

The aim of the school is to allow mathematician participants to renew the memory of their science and to see it in a new perspective. For historians of mathemaics and of the sciences, it is to acquaint them with the mathematical activity of periods on which they do not work. The field of the school will be mathematics from Antiquity to the beginning of the XVIIIth century. It has been chosen in order to train research workers about periods the approach of which is difficult (for reasons of language, nature of the texts, etc) and to put the mathematics of these periods in their cultural context.
