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.
