This volume includes 35 papers that deal with the heritage of Charlemagne in the mathematical sciences. It focuses on those fields which Alcuin of York and others introduced at the court school at Aachen, founded some 1200 years ago, and that continue to play a role in contemporary mathematics. The emphasis is on exemplary topics in modern geometry, combinatorics, operations research, number theory and related fields. Selected topics in the history of mathematics since the Carolingian renewal are also covered. Dieser Band enthalt 35 Arbeiten, die von den Nachwirkungen der karolingischen Mathematik Zeugnis geben. Der Schwerpunkt liegt auf Gebieten, die durch Alcuin von York und andere zur Zeit der Grundung der Aachener Hofschule vor 1200 Jahren eingefuhrt wurden und die auch noch in der heutigen Mathematik eine wichtige Rolle spielen. Exemplarische Beitrage aus der modernen Geometrie, aus Kombinatorik, Zahlentheorie, Unternehmensforschung und aus verwandten Gebieten stehen im Mittelpunkt. Auch ausgewahlte Beitrage zur Geschichte der Mathematik seit der karolingischen Renaissance werden vorgelegt. Language : French, German, English.

These volumes and their origines in the international and interdisciplinary Colloquium Carlos Magnus: 1200 Years of Civilization and Science in Europe that was held in Aachen, March 19-26, 1995. It was conducted as a collaborative undertaking between five chairs of mathematics and those of medieval history, Romance languages, and art history, at the Aachen University of Technology, togheter with the Diocese of Aachen. The object of the Colloquium was to elucidate the intellectual world under Emperor Charlemagne who selected Aachen as his permanent winter residence in 794/95, as well as to study the influence upon present day mathematics, especially of those fields of mathematics and their applications the roots of which may go back to the Carolingian court school.
