  • A quantitative approach using data from Wikipedia to study collaboration between nineteenth-century British mathematicians
  • The depiction and perception of Émilie Du Châtelet's scientific contributions as viewed through the frontispieces designed for books written by or connected to her
  • A study of the Cambridge Women's Research Club, a place where British women were able to participate in scholarly scientific discourse in the middle of the twentieth century
  • An examination of the researchand writing process of mathematicians by looking at their drafts and other preparatory notes
  • A global history of al-Khwārāzmī's Kitāb al-jabr wa-l-muqābala as obtained by tracing its reception through numerous translations and commentaries
  • Written by leading scholars in the field, these papers are accessible not only to mathematicians and students of the history and philosophy of mathematics, but also to anyone with a general interest in mathematics.
