內容簡介
This book describes two stages in the historical development of the notion of mathematical structures: first, it traces its rise in the context of algebra from the mid-1800s to 1930, and then considers attempts to formulate elaborate theories after 1930 aimed at elucidating, from a purely mathematical perspective, the precise meaning of this idea.

You can see more about my work, here: http://www.tau.ac.il/~corry/ My research has focused on an attempt to understand the historical development of some of the main threads of twentieth-century mathematics. Among other things my research has dealt with the rise of modern algebra, the development of the idea of a mathematical structure, the rise of the modern axiomatic method, the introduction of digital computers into research in pure mathematics, and the works of some leading figures such as David Hilbert, Emmy Noether, Nicolas Bourbaki, and others. More recently I have also become interested in the Euclidean tradition of the middle ages and the renaissance, particularly around the question of the changing relationships between arithmetic and geometry. As part of a more general academic interest in history and philosophy of science, in 1999-2009 I was editor of the journal Science in Context (Cambridge University Press), and in 2003-2009 I was director of the Cohn Institute for History and Philosophy of Science at Tel-Aviv University. In 2014-15, I was director of the Zvi Yavetz Graduate School of Historical Studies at TAU. Since November 2015
