Reviews

Author Information

David E. Rowe is professor emeritus for history of mathematics and natural sciences at Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz. Much of his research has focused on the Göttingen mathematical tradition and the career of Felix Klein. In 2025, he published The Erlangen Program, an account of Klein's most famous work and its reception history. He documented the career of Hilbert’s first doctoral student, Otto Blumenthal: Ausgewählte Briefe und Schriften (2 volumes, Springer 2018, 2019). His biography, Emmy Noether – Mathematician Extraordinaire, was published by Springer in 2021. He and Joseph Dauben served as general editors of a six-volume Cultural History of Mathematics (Bloomsbury, 2024). In 2025, Rowe and Jan Hogendijk received the Kenneth O. May Medal from the International Commission for the History of Mathematics for outstanding lifetime contributions to the field.
