This publication explores aspects of Otto Neugebauer's profession, his influence at the background and perform of arithmetic, and the ways that his legacy has been preserved or remodeled in contemporary many years, expecting the instructions within which the research of the heritage of technological know-how will head within the twenty-first century. Neugebauer, greater than the other pupil of modern instances, formed the best way we understand premodern technology. via his scholarship and effect on scholars and collaborators, he inculcated either an method of old learn on historical and medieval arithmetic and astronomy via particular mathematical and philological learn of texts, and a imaginative and prescient of those sciences as platforms of information and approach that unfold outward from the traditional close to japanese civilizations, crossing cultural barriers and circulating over an immense geographical expanse of the previous international from the Atlantic to India.
