Greek Mathematics and Astronomy in Late Antiquity

Résumé

Section 1 lists five main characteristics of the period as far as mathematics and astronomy are concerned. Section 2 deals with some of the competing models available for the cultural legitimation of mathematical practice in Late Antiquity. Section 3 delves into the contents by first proposing a classification of the better known texts according to the variety of erudite activities that gave rise to the various genres and styles found in late productions. Section 4 returns to the notion of a “decadent” versus “transitional and multicultural” period and concludes with the relative originality of mathematical and astronomical productions, as well as their influence on later developments.
