Karl der Grosse und sein Nachwirken. 1200 Jahre Kultur und Wissenschaft in Europa

This volume includes 35 papers that deal with the heritage of Charlemagne in the mathematical sciences. It focuses on those fields which Alcuin of York and others introduced at the court school at Aachen, founded some 1200 years ago, and that continue to play a role in contemporary mathematics. The emphasis is on exemplary topics in modern geometry, combinatorics, operations research, number theory and related fields. Selected topics in the history of mathematics since the Carolingian renewal are also covered.
