TL;DR: The notion of mathematical structure is among the most pervasive ones in twentieth century mathematics as discussed by the authors, and it has been widely adopted in other mathematical domains since the 1930s. But, what is a mathematical structure and what is the place of this notion within the whole fabric of mathematics?
Abstract: The notion of mathematical structure is among the most pervasive ones in twentieth century mathematics. "Modern algebra and the rise of mathematical structures" describes two stages in the historical development of this notion: first it traces its rise in the context of algebra from the mid-nineteenth century to its consolidation by 1930 aimed at elucidating, from a purely mathematical perspective, the precise meaning of this idea. Part 1 discusses the process whereby the aims and scope of the discipline of algebra were deeply transformed, turning it into that branch of mathematics dealing with a new kind of mathematical entities: the "algebraic structures". The transition from the classical, nineteenth-century, image of the discipline to the new one is examined by focusing mainly on developments within the theory of ideals, from Richard Dedekind to Emmy Noether, and culminating with the publication in 1930 of Bartel L. van de Waerden's "Moderne algebra". Following its enormous success in algebra, the structural approach was widely adopted in other mathematical domains since the 1930s. But, what is a mathematical structure and what is the place of this notion within the whole fabric of mathematics? Part 2 describes the historical roots, the early stages and the interconnections between three attempts to address these questions from a purely formal, mathematical perspectives: Oystein Ore's lattice-theoretical theory of structures, Nicolas Bourbaki's theory of structures, and the theory of categories and functors. The book is intended for historians of mathematics and mathematicians interested in the development of algebra and in the history of twentieth-century mathematics. It will also be read with interest by philosophers and historians of science concerned with the role of heuristic and contextual factors in the development of scientific ideas.

TL;DR: In this article, a new criterion for convergence of Fourier series, B V.1, was proposed, which was followed by several classical theorems about the behaviour of functions of this class.
Abstract: 1. After du Bois-Reymond [7] had constructed the example of a continuous function whose Fourier series diverges at apoint Jordan [12] gave a new criterion for convergence of Fourier series which introduced a new class of functions: B V. It was followed by several, today classical, theorems about the behavionr of Fourier series of functions of this class. We are concerned with one of them, essentially due to L. Fej6r [9] (see atso Czillag [5]).

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that “balance of nature” has constricted the meaning ofmathematical equilibrium in population ecology, and suggests that themetaphor was and continues to be a constitutive part of ecological theories.
Abstract: I claim that the "balance of nature" metaphor is shorthand for a paradigmatic view of nature as a beneficent force. I trace the historical origins of this concept and demonstrate that it operates today in the discipline of population ecology. Although it might be suspected that this metaphor is a pre-theoretic description of the more precisely defined notion of equi- librium, I demonstrate that "balance of nature" has constricted the meaning of mathematical equilibrium in population ecology. As well as influencing the meaning of equilibrium, the metaphor has also loaded the mathematical term with values. Environmentalists and critics use this conflation of meaning and value to their advantage. This interplay between the "balance of nature" and equilibrium fits an interactionist interpretation of the role of metaphor in science. However, it seems the interaction is asymmetric, and the "balance of nature" metaphor has had a larger influence on mathematical equilibrium than vice versa. This disproportionate influence suggests that the metaphor was and continues to be a constitutive part of ecological theories.
