Abstract/Summary
This dissertation studies the culture of mathematical practice in Elizabethan England. It looks in detail at the work of a small group of mathematical practitioners whose careers all intersected during the design and reconstruction of Dover harbour in the 1570s and ’80s. I show how English mathematical practice was fashioned through the technical and social strategies of its new practitioners.
