Does discussion of jacob klein's work assume that the fundamentals of modern algebra, such as spencer-browns's laws of form, have masked the greek meaning of...
I am trying to find the following article from the Journal of the History of Ideas which, based on an abstract, seems to discuss Klein's ideas about...
Dear Burt, Thanks very much. Unfortunately, I forgot to mention that I have the klein list configured to remove email attachments -- to protect subscribers...

I notice several new members but no postings. Why did you join? B...
I was hoping the group would consider the later parts of his book, but the discussion seemed to get bogged down on Plato. I wrote a book on the foundations of...
... I presume you refer to "The foundations of mathematics in the theory of sets", Cambridge, 2000 (it's ok to plug your book here). If your book was inspired...
I may have been too quick to join as I'm still waiting for my copy of the book. Is a compulsive contribution required? Is it possible to listen for a while? As...
Bob, As I am sure you know, overwhelmingly the largest cause of delay in any computing process is the step that requires human input. The slow response should...
Dear Bob, I always read your contributions to the HM list with interest. If you don't understand Klein I suspect that a lot of his readers don't. I don't claim...
John, The listing for you at Bristol -- http://www.maths.bris.ac.uk/~majpm/ -- returns an error message. If you could give us a correct URL that would be good....
Dear John and All, Let me say I am a strong believer in the principles of slow read laid out by Lance Fletcher in his little essay. I think they go beyond the...
Dear Bob et al. The question you raise goes right to the heart of my failure to understand Klein. Of course it is possible that (a) he is wrong or (b) confused...
Hi Pierre: It's fine to join and then just listen. If you find you have something to say, then please do contribute; this is a very accomodating group, and we...
Dear John and all, Sorry to be so slow in responding. In deference to those who are here to study Klein I think we should avoid far ranging discussions of...
Ciao a tutti della lista, In his discussion of Vieta, Klein asserts that Vieta's concept "species" is the modern concept of number. There is some difficulty...
Ideas often come in clusters, lacking what might be called 'the cohesive'. Not to fear, try reading several books on the general topic at once then switch to...
Unfortunately this sounds a little like talking to oneself but some- times thoughts scatter before meaning, and it is time to reconnoitre against the light....
I have joined this group in order to look for ideas and resources we can use in a Klein reading group in summer of 2009. Thanks for the chance to browse...
Hi Laura, Welcome to this mostly dormant group. I'm interested to hear about your interest in Klein. Lee...

Just signed up. I am not at a high enough level really for this but want to try to follow along. 3 classes from a BS in math. Read Klein for a History of...
For Diane and anyone else interested in reading through Klein this summer: WELCOME! I had stumbled across this YahooGroup quite by accident and would be glad...
Sorry for the delay in approving this post. Lance Fletcher klein group owner ... I'm following Laura here, keen to read (but slowly) Klein with a group of...
Sorry for the delay in approving this post. Also I suspected the confusion between Jacob Klein and Melanie Klein. I wonder if Jacob Klein would have been...
