Alma Steingart

Columbia University, New York NY, USA

Alma Steingart is an assistant professor in the Department of History at Columbia University. Steingart is interested in the ways in which mathematical ways of thinking impact a wide range of disciplines, including the natural and social sciences, and even the humanities. Her first manuscript, Pure Abstraction: Mathematical Thought and High Modernism, tracks the proliferation of midcentury mathematical thought dedicated to abstract and axiomatic ways of reasoning. She is currently at work on a new project tentatively titled Accountable Democracy: Mathematical Reasoning and Representative Politics in America, 1920-Now.
