 Alex Garnick is a PhD candidate in the Department of the History of Science at Harvard. He studies the history of mathematics, with a focus on the Arabic and Latin traditions in the early modern period, and with an emphasis on mathematics' relationship to philosophy, logic, and other sciences in these contexts. His dissertation looks at the circulation and reception of Arabic mathematical texts on a network of actors surrounding the seventeenth- century Dutch scholar Jacob Golius. Alex is currently a visiting fellow at Laboratoire SPHère (CNRS, Paris).
