Translations Between Geometry and Algebra
Philosophy of Science Colloquium
The Institute Vienna Circle holds a Philosophy of Science Colloquium
with talks by our present fellows.
*Date:* 23/10/2025
*Time:*16h45
*Venue:*New Institute Building (NIG), Universitätsstraße 7, 1010 Wien, HS 2i
*Abstract:*
Since Descartes' development of analytic geometry in the 17th century,
mathematicians have used translations between geometry and algebra to
solve problems in both domains. In this talk I will discuss this issue
in its historical contexts.
