The historiography and history of mathematics in the Third Reich
, 2008 Abstract After Hitler became chancellor of the German Reich on 30 January 1933 and the Nazi regime consolidated its power in March 1933, serious effects for science and mathematics became visible.

For me, history of science and mathematics enables us to understand the history of humankind (Wusing, 1979).

Explanation in the historiography of mathematics: The case of Hamilton's quaternions
Studies in History and Philosophy of Science Part A, 1995 Acknowledging all recent studies on the genesis of quaternions, the author questions the possibility of providing a rational explanation of R. W. Hamilton's breakthrough, by deploying W. H. Dray's `RE-model' and B. C. Van Fraassen's notion of `contrast class'. Distinguishing, after Dray, between `Why questions' and `How questions', Koetsier studies the

History or Heritage? A Central Question in the Historiography of Mathematics
, 2004 The growth in interest and work in the history of mathematics in the last three decades or so has led naturally to reactions among mathematicians. Some of them have been welcoming, and indeed have contributed their own historical research; but many others have been cautious, and even contemptuous about the work produced by practising historians for ...
