Review text

``Vorliegendes Buch enthält zwei Studien über Mathematisierungsprozesse im 19. Jahrhundert. In der ersten geht es um die Symmetriekonzepte der Kristallographie, von R. J. Haüy zu Beginn des Jahrhunderts bis zur Klassifikation der kristallographischen Raumgruppentypen durch E. S. Federov und A. Schoenflies gegen dessen Ende. Die zweite analysiert die Versuche, während der Theoretisierungsphase der Technikwissenschaften kurz nach der Jahrhundertwende die graphischen Methoden der Baustatik auf Konzepte der projektiven Geometrie zu fundieren.
