Review text

This paper is an introduction to part of a book, and is probably best appreciated if read in conjunction with the essays which it introduces. The main theme is the contrasts between the style and organisation of mathematics in the various countries considered. In France the influence of the Ecole polytechnique, in Germany Jacobi's innovation of the research seminar are important indicators. In England the main point was the efforts of Cayley, Baker and others to extract British mathematics from its insularity. Other strands transcend nationality; i.e. journals and societies and education. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0862.00010].
