Sâlih Zeki’s First Lecture in Dârü‘l-fünûn Konferansları: Locating its Main Source
Öz
Sâlih Zeki presented a series of lectures on mathematics, which were
later published in the old Turkish script. They are about certain developments and fields that arose in mathematics in the 19th century. He
talks in a concise and historical manner about non-Euclidean geometries and their discovery in the first five lectures of the first volume.
In the first lecture, he presents the gist of his views concerning how
these geometries were discovered.
Sâlih Zeki’s lecture seems to be the first addressing and dealing with
this discovery among the available printed materials in Turkish. It,
thus, certainly deserves to be examined. My aim is to determine his
main source on which he structured his account of this discovery in
order to appreciate, and asses better his mathematical, philosophical
and methodological concerns.
