Ray Schrire was awarded a Research Fellowship by the Folger Shakespeare Library. The project Documenting Early-Modern Popular Mathematical Culture that is an integral part of Ray’s research at the Polonsky Academy, was selected for its exceptional merit by an international committee of scholars. The fellowship’s funds will be used to digitize early modern manuscripts found in libraries in the UK and Continental Europe. Ray aims to shed light on hidden aspects of the mathematical practices of early modern merchants, accountants, and shopkeepers.
