Hello, Just wanted to add that I have just self-archived the submitted version (ie version with no response to peer review or other editing etc.) of my contribution, on my website http://individual.utoronto.ca/fofound/ICHSTM2013TextManvSubWeb.pdf -- Yours Truly, Allan Olley, PhD http://individual.utoronto.ca/fofound/ On Wed, 13 Nov 2019, Maarten Bullynck wrote:
Dear members of SIGCIS,
I am happy to announce the publication of a special issue of Revue de Synthèse (vol 139: 3-4, 2018) on "Mathematics and Machines", edited by Liesbeth De Mol, Marie-José Durand-Richard and myself .
The issue looks at the interactions between mathematics and manual, analogue or digital computation and focuses on the period before and after World War II. I attach our English translation of the introduction, explaining the topic and outlining the articles of the special issue. The issue itself is online here:
