Glen Van BrummelenQuest University History of Science, Mathematics and Astronomy Statement: Medieval mathematical astronomy, in Islamic cultures and in Latin Europe. I am studying the spherical astronomy of Giovanni Bianchini (15th century), to understand his role in the emergence of early modern astronomy and the decimal number system. I am also hoping to identify traces of Arabic scholarship in his astronomical work. While at IAS: Office: W-210 Phone: 609-734-8282 Member in Residence for: Year |
