Development of mathematics in Europe between 550-1050 A.D I'm trying to search for any kind of development in the mathematics (science, astronomy, even astrology or other kind of early studies that envolve any kind of math) expecially in early england and in the carolingian empire. The problem I have is that it seams that math died in there: every work seems to be related to arabic, or chinese or indian work in the area. In science I'm looking and nothing seems to appears. So I've the main question: > _Is there any reference, article, name of scientis of mathematician, book, page, etc. that can bring contributions to math history in england or in the carolingian empire between 550 and 1050 A.D? Even the e-mail of someone who is a expeciallist in the area could work as a fruitfull answer_ thanks for future answers or critics.
