Eine Disziplin und ihre Verleger

Abstract

Am Beispiel der Mathematik werden in diesem Buch die Wechselwirkungen zwischen wissenschaftlichem Verlagswesen und der Entwicklung einer wissenschaftlichen Disziplin in Deutschland zwischen 1871 und 1949 analysiert. Die Studie untersucht die Funktion unterschiedlicher Publikationsformen für die Scientific Community, die Profilierungsstrategien der Verlage angesichts steigender Konkurrenz in ihrem Marktsegment sowie wissenschafts- und branchenexterne Rahmenbedingungen des mathematischen Publizierens.

Historiography of Mathematics in the 19th and 20th Centuries

“…Through his connections with Ferdinand Springer (1881, Courant launched the famed "yellow series," one of several initiatives that enabled Springer to attain a pre-eminent position as a publisher in the fields of mathematics and theoretical physics (Remmert and Schneider 2010). Courant was an innovator with a deep belief in the vitality of older traditions.…”

Otto Neugebauer’s Vision for Rewriting the History of Ancient Mathematics

“…Part of his strategy was conservative in nature. Through his connections with Ferdinand Springer, Courant launched the famed "yellow series", one of several initiatives that enabled Springer to attain a pre-eminent position as a publisher in the fields of mathematics and theoretical physics (Remmert and Schneider, 2010). Courant was an innovator with a deep belief in the vitality of older traditions.…”
