Mastering the History of Pure and Applied Mathematics

The present collection of essays are published in honor of the distinguished historian of mathematics Professor Emeritus Jesper Luetzen. In a career that spans more than four decades, Professor Luetzen's scholarly contributions have enhanced our understanding of the history, development, and organization of mathematics. The essays cover a broad range of areas connected to Professor Luetzen's work. In addition to this noteworthy scholarship, Professor Luetzen has always been an exemplary colleague, providing support to peers as well as new faculty and graduate students. We dedicate this Festschrift to Professor Luetzen-as a scholarly role model, mentor, colleague, and friend.
