Master Class: Moving Mathematics through Languages
From June 10 to June 13, 2025, the sin-aps group The language of algorithmic mathematics is organising a four-day Master Class, which aims at analysing the migration of mathematical language from Greek to Chinese via Latin. The Master Class brings together scholars and young researchers who have combined philological with digital approaches to better understand how syntax and semantics of mathematical language moves across languages in translation processes. All sessions will be dedicated to the first six books of Euclid’s Elements.
Confirmed external speakers are: Fabio Acerbi (Paris, author of The Logical Syntax of Greek Mathematics, Springer: 2021) and Ramon Masià (Barcelona), co-authors of The Greek Mathematical Corpus: a Quantitative Appraisal (Histoire & Mesure 2022).
Interested participants, please contact: Prof. Dr. Andrea Bréard.
Venue: Hartmannstrasse 14, Building D3 (Library Room), 91502 Erlangen
