商品簡介
Like its 1995 predecessor, the conference was intended to analyze the interaction between Europe and East Asia between the 16th and 18th centuries in the field of mathematical science, highlighting the role of Portugal as an agent of transmitting European science to East Asia. The 12 papers pivot on the themes pacing and mapping the world; transmission, translation, and teaching; and science as a political tool and its impact on Asian societies. They are not indexed.
