The Emergence of the American Mathematical Research Community, 1876-1900 : J.J. Sylvester, Felix Klein, and E.H. Moore.

This volume traces the transformation of the United States from a mathematical backwater to a major presence during the quarter-century from 1876 to 1900. Presenting a detailed study of the major figures involved in this transformation, it focuses on the three most influential individuals-the Britis...
