On some of the causes and consequences of the reforms in mathematics since the XIX century to the beginning of XX century

G. A. Zverkina



Abstract: In the XIX century, in the formulation of new types of mathematical problems and the formalization of already existing theories, serious changes occurred. Such beginning of a major reform of mathematical knowledge can be compared with in importance to the creation of an axiomatic-deductive approach to mathematical knowledge in ancient Greece. We will discuss some of the reasons for these changes in the views of mathematicians, as well as the consequences of the transformation that has taken place in mathematics.
