Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This lecture will give an introduction to the history of mathematics and logics. We will cover their beginnings in Egypt and Mesopotamia, Greek mathematics of the Hellenistic period, Islamic and European medieval mathematics, and mathematics at the beginning of the modern age. For more information (in German) go to http://www.mat.univie.ac.at/~baxa/ws1920.html

Assessment and permitted materials

Written exam after the end of the semester. The only permitted aids are ruler and compass (i.e., pocket calculators are not permitted).
As long as it is impossible to hold exams at the university due to the Corona crisis, I offer the possibility to take exams in the form of an online video conference. For more information (in German) go to https://www.mat.univie.ac.at/~baxa/online_Pruefungen.pdf
