📣 Happy to see my paper "Without measure, number and weight, it is impossible to build a mine" in print in the (German) journal Der Anschnitt. It builds and expands on some parts of my book #UndergroundMathematics, arguing that trust in geometry and religion went hand in hand 🤝
🚩Great review of my book by Renée Raphael in the @AmHistReview ▶️: "Overall, #UndergroundMathematics is a brilliantly crafted book that reorients scholarship on early modern mining, embeds one facet of early modern practical mathematics in its local and social context" 😊
Thomas Morel's 'Underground mathematics. Craft culture and knowledge production in early modern Europe' "focuses on the origins and evolution of 𝘔𝘢𝘳𝘬𝘴𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘬𝘶𝘯𝘴𝘵 from its origins up to the beginning of the nineteenth century", ... 1/3
I gather well-known case studies, from architecture to the water-wheel, and more niche examples such as #UndergroundMathematics ⛏️to reconcile diverging accounts. There was indeed an ongoing mathematization of civil life, but a low-key one, made of many uncoordinated attempts!
"One of the key strengths of Morel’s book is the fantastically rich impression of the practices and worldview [...] This is undoubtably testament to Morel’s skills as a historian" 😊Thanks Jasmine for this glowing review of #UndergroundMathematics in the @JoDesignHistory!

Next Saturday I’ll give a talk at the 'Montanhistorisches Kolloquium' in Goslar on a very special mining map, the Freiberga Subterranea (1693). So let’s dig into some map history, geometry and power, and obviously #UndergroundMathematics ... a🧶 ...
It was a great pleasure to chat with @ThinkersGarden about early modern mines, maps, surveyors and all kind of #UndergroundMathematics! You can find the whole interview there ⤵️

Dr @Thomas__Morel speaks to us about his book Underground Mathematics, which examines the political, economic, and scientific ramifications of mine mapping in early modern Europe:

The development of #UndergroundMathematics mirrors larger developments: in every arts and crafts, quantification and accuracy were silently gaining ground. Early modern mathematics isn’t just about the ‘scientific revolution’, it’s a way broader cultural development!
🥳Publication day for #UndergroundMathematics! Thanks to everyone involved❤️
Here’s a short🧵to its main argument: How did practical mathematics and a culture of accuracy developed in EM Europe? Rationality wasn’t just about scholars, it included craftsmen and artisans too!
I deal with these manuscripts extensively in my book! Here's the🔗to the table of contents of #UndergroundMathematics, preorders at @CambridgeUP and all kind of info ➡️ https://t.co/GNxO3FtZF2 [most images from the Bergarchiv, Bergakademie Freiberg, Bochum DBM]

Today a 🧵on craftsmen's manuscripts on subterranean geometry: How to read them? Where do they come from? And why I find them exceptionally important! There’ll be lots of #UndergroundMathematics, but also book history and exchanges between early modern craftsmen and scholars…

Today a 🧵on mining maps, how to look at them, and what they tell us about how people perceived the underground world! With bits of map history, paper history, and obviously lots of #UndergroundMathematics. For the untrained eye, these maps are difficult to understand... #HistSTM
Early modern sermons thus contributed to a popular appreciation of mathematical accuracy! Moreover, unlike scholarly treatises, these texts were widely read and circulated among common people, making them important sources to understand the diffusion of #UndergroundMathematics!
🥁On the relationship between practical mathematics and religion in the early modern period ⛪️ Look at this sermon’s frontispiece and its odd title… Why is Martin Luther presented as ‘A Trustworthy Geometer on the Mountain of Our Lord’? A🧵on #UndergroundMathematics #HistSTM
Leibniz, as many scholars and projectors, eagerly bought, read, annotated the ‘Geometria Subterranea’. In the early modern period, mathematical arts and crafts were tremendously important, but some have been forgotten … That’s why I wrote this book #UndergroundMathematics
Why #UndergroundMathematics? My book will be out next month, so it might be the right time to explain! Here is the frontispiece of a ‘Geometria Subterranea’, written by an obscure surveyor in 1686. Why did it sell like hotcakes? And why did G.W. Leibniz read it so eagerly? A🧵...
Just received this wonderful maths lecture notes ☺️ This is how arithmetic and geometric was taught in a mining school in 1841 ... And there's even some exercises on Markscheidekunst ! #UndergroundMathematics
🚩I'm finally arriving to the #ESHS2022 in Brussels🚩Hope to see colleagues and friends along the way ... Oh and tomorrow I'll be discussing collaborations between mathematical practitioners and scholars in the early modern period ... as always, in #UndergroundMathematics !
