Samenvatting

In the first half of the 19th century geometry changed
radically, and withina century it helped to revolutionize
both mathematics and physics. It also put the epistemology
and the philosophy of science on a new footing. In this
volume a sound overview of this development is given by
leading mathematicians, physicists, philosophers, and
historians of science. This interdisciplinary approach gives
this collection a unique character. It can be used by
scientists and students, but it also addresses a general
readership.
