Description:
Suzan Rose Benedict, a pioneering woman in the field of mathematics, made significant contributions to the study of ancient arithmetic during a time when female mathematicians were rare.
• Benedict pursued her education at Columbia University, earning a master's degree focused on the history of mathematics, and later became the first woman to earn a Ph.D. in mathematics from the University of Michigan.
• She spent her professional career teaching at Smith College, while also continuing her own research and publishing widely in mathematical journals such as Mathematics Teacher.
• This book is the result of Benedict’s systematic effort to compile a comprehensive bibliography of early European treatises on Hindu arithmetic, excluding those solely related to abacus use.
• The bibliography includes detailed notes about each treatise: title, date, author, location of manuscripts, publications where they appear, summaries of content, and for Latin works, the opening and closing words.
• Benedict’s work offers a comparative study that illuminates the spread and impact of the Hindu art of reckoning on European mathematical development.
