“A Valuable Monument of Mathematical Genius”: The Ladies' Diary (1704--1840) (2009)

unapi

Our purpose is to view the mathematical contribution of The Ladies' Diary as a whole. We shall range from the state of mathematics in England at the beginning of the 18th century to the transformations of the mathematics that was published in The Diary over 134 years, including the leading role The Ladies' Diary played in the early development of British mathematics periodicals, to finally an account of how progress in mathematics and its journals began to overtake The Diary in Victorian Britain.
