Framing Global Mathematics

Title: Framing Global Mathematics
Subtitle: The International Mathematical Union between Theorems and Politics
Description: The book "Framing Global Mathematics: The International Mathematical Union between Theorems and Politics” by Norbert Schappacher is published by Springer, Cham (2022) and is available in open access. Schappacher's book provides the most comprehensive and exciting take on the history of the IMU since Olli Lehto's "Mathematics without borders, a history of the International Mathematical Union”, and more broadly analyzes the historical context of today's mathematics and its place in world culture. The IMU solicited the writing of Schappacher's book to mark the occasion of the centennial of the founding of the IMU in 1920. The project is generously sponsored by the Klaus Tschira Foundation.
