Book Description

Publication Date: November 30, 2002 | ISBN-10: 1402008481 | ISBN-13: 978-1402008481 | Edition: 1

This volume makes an important contribution toward a nuanced appreciation of the Jesuits' interaction with "modernity", and a greater recognition of their contribution to the mathematization of natural philosophy and experimental science. The six essays provide a cross-section of the complex Jesuit encounter with the mathematical sciences during the 17th century.
