The workshop "Teaching and Publishing Mathematics and Science in the Society of Jesus in Early Modern Europe" is being organized by the Interdisciplinary Centre for Science and Technology Studies (IZWT) at the Bergische Universität Wuppertal. The Society of Jesus was a key player in the systematic dissemination of up-to-date knowledge of science and mathematics during the early modern period. The aim of the workshop is to take stock of the scope and impact of Jesuit mathematical and scientific teaching and publishing in early modern Europe. Special attention will be paid to the question of how to assess the Jesuit’s influence in these fields in ways that go beyond the study of particular Jesuit authors or colleges. For further information on the topic, please get in touch with Volker Remmert: remmert@uni-wuppertal.de. Also, in case you wish to participate, please send a message to Volker Remmert by June 7, 2013.
