MORDELLIA

Mordellia uses language models to prepare digital editions of selected chapters from classical mathematics textbooks. The aim is to help readers trained in modern mathematics follow a classical argument and see what later ideas can explain. Read any version on its own, or compare corresponding passages side by side.

Original preserves the author’s words, notation and proofs, with the mathematics typeset for the web.

Modernized follows the same proof in the same order, updating the language and notation.

Reinterpreted revisits the argument where a modern proof or concept helps explain why the historical method works.
