CfP-29th Novembertagung on the History of Mathematics
“History of Mathematical Concepts and Conceptual
History of Mathematics”. November 28th-30th
The
Novembertagung on the History of Mathematics is an annual international
conference aimed at PhD and postdoctoral students (young scholars) in the
history of mathematics.
In
2018 the Novembertagung will be held in Spain for the first time, at the
Institute of Mathematics of the University of Seville (IMUS). The conference
will commence on November 28th with a lunch reception; presentations will then
begin after lunch and continue throughout the next two days.
We
encourage submissions that engage with historical considerations of key
concepts in mathematics, as well as those that are guided by a conceptual
approach to the history and philosophy of mathematics. Abstracts, of around 250
words, should be submitted by May 15th
2018. Please note that the theme serves as a guide, not a criterion for
exclusion, and as such it is not necessary for a submission to engage with the
theme to be accepted. For more information, our webpage can
be viewed here[1].
