Karine Chemla
Centre National de la recherche
scientifique (CNRS)
Karine Chemla is a Senior Researcher at the Centre
National de la recherche scientifique (CNRS) and
belongs to the research group SPHERE (Science—Philosophy—History,
Université de Paris & CNRS). Her research interests include the history of
mathematics within ancient China, geometry in France in the first half of
the 19th century, and the theory of the history of mathematics, with a focus
on the relationships between mathematics and the cultures in relation to
which they are produced.
Professor Chemla has co-edited the monographs Cultures without
Culturalism: The Making of Scientific Knowledge (Duke, 2017) and The
Oxford Handbook of Generality in Mathematics and the Sciences (OUP,
2016). She also co-authored Les neuf chapitres. Le classique mathématique
de la Chine ancienne et ses commentaires (Dunod, 2005), a French
translation and critical edition of the book that was considered for centuries
in China to be the most important text in the mathematical canon. This
book received the 2006 Prix Ikuo HIRAYAMA from the Académie des
inscriptions et belle lettres.
Among other distinctions, Professor Chemla has been awarded a CNRS
Silver medal (2008) and held the Sarton Chair of History of Science at
Ghent University (2013-14). In addition, she has been a plenary and invited
speaker at numerous international conferences, including the Seventh
European Congress of Mathematics (Berlin 2016) and the International
Congress of Mathematicians in 1998. She is a Doctor Honoris Causa of
the Vrije Universiteit Brussel and a member of several academic societies,
including the Deutsche Akademie der Naturforscher Leopoldina, Section
