This collection of papers contains extended versions of contributions presented on the summer school of the history of mathematics held in Jevíčko (Czech Republic) and on workshops in Prague and Brno in the years 1995–1997. They were written both by experts from the Czech Academy of Science and different universities and by postgraduate students of this branch; all are written in Czech or Slovak. The authors, titles of the papers and their extent are the following ones (in the alphabetical order of the names of the authors):
