Abstract

The aim of this paper is to classify mathematical revolutions by discussing the concept of revolution, and to suggest criteria to judge mathematical revolutions. I examine the relation between the types and the criteria of mathematical revolutions, and explore what types of revolutions several instances of changes in mathematical knowledge are.

본 논문의 목적은 '혁명' 이라는 개념을 검토함으로써 '수학혁명'의 유형을 분류하고, 수학혁명을 위한 조건들을 제시하려는데 있다. 또한 수학혁명의 유형과 수학혁명을 판정하는 기준이 어떻게 연관되는지를 탐구하여 수학의 역사에 나타난 수학지식의 변화 중 몇 가지 사례들이 어떤 종류의 혁명이었는지를 알아본다.
