- Ivor Grattan-Guinness (Born 23 June 1941, Bakewell, England) is a historian of mathematics and logic. He gained his Bachelor degree as a Mathematics Scholar at Wadham College, Oxford, got an M. Sc(Econ) in Mathematical Logic and the Philosophy of Science at the London School of Economics in 1966. He has gained both the doctorate (Ph.D. ) in 1969, and higher doctorate (D. Sc.)1978, in the History of Science at the University of London. He is Emeritus Professor of the History of Mathematics and Logic at Middlesex University, and a Visiting Research Associate at the London School of Economics. He was awarded the prestigious Kenneth O. May Medal for services to the History of Mathematics by the International Commission for the History of Mathematics (ICHM) on 31st July 2009, at Budapest, on the occasion of the 23rd International Congress for the History of Science. He spent much of his career at Middlesex University. He has been a fellow at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, and is a member of the Academie Internationale d'Histoire des Sciences. From 1974 to 1981 he was editor of the history of science journal Annals of Science. In 1979 he founded the journal History and Philosophy of Logic, and edited it until 1992. He was an associate editor of Historia Mathematica for twenty years from its inception in 1974, and again from 1996. He also acts as advisory editor to the editions of the writings of C.S. Peirce and Bertrand Russell, and to several other journals and book series. He was a member of the Executive Committee of the International Commission on the History of Mathematics from 1977 to 1993. He has given over 570 invited lectures to organisations and societies, or to conferences and congresses, in over 20 countries around the world. These lectures include tours undertaken in Australia, New Zealand, Italy, South Africa and Portugal. From 1986 to 1988 he was the President of the British Society for the History of Mathematics, and for 1992 the Vice-President. In 1991 he was elected an effective member of the Académie Internationale d'Histoire des Sciences. He was the Associate Editor for mathematicians and statisticians for the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography (2004). The work of Grattan-Guinness touches on all historical periods, but he specialises in the development of the calculus and mathematical analysis, and their applications to mechanics and mathematical physics, and in the rise of set theory and mathematical logic. He has been especially interested in characterising how past thinkers, far removed from us in time, view their findings differently from the way we see them now (for example, Euclid). He has emphasised the importance of ignorance as an epistemological notion in this task. He has done extensive research with original sources both published and unpublished, thanks to his reading and spoken knowledge of the main European languages.

Dal 1974 al 1981 è stato editor del periodico di storia della scienza "Annals of Science||. Nel 1979 ha fondato il periodico "History and Philosophy of Logic", del quale è stato editor fino al 1992. È stato associate editor di "Historia Mathematica" per vent'anni, dalla sua nascita nel 1974, e ancora successivamente dal 1996. He also acts as advisory editor to the editions of the writings of C.S. Peirce, and Bertrand Russel, and to several other journals and book series. He was a member of the Executive Committee of the International Commission on the History of Mathematics from 1977 to 1993. He has given over 520 invited lectures to organisations and societies, or to conferences and congresses, in over 20 countries around the world.

In 1991 he was elected an effective member of the Académie Internationale d'Histoire des Sciences. He was the Associate Editor for mathematicians and statisticians for the Oxford dictionary of national biography (2004).  L'attività di Grattan-Guinness tocca tutti i periodi storici, ma egli è interessato soprattutto di Euclide, dello sviluppo del calcolo infinitesimale e dell'analisi matematica e delle loro applicazioni alla meccanica e alla fisica matematica, e dell'emergere della teoria degli insiemi e della logica matematica. Egli si è specialmente interessato del caratterizzare come i pensatori del passato molto lontani da noi sul piano temporale vedano le loro scoperte con occhi differenti da quelli con cui noi le vediamo oggi; egli ha anche enfasizzato l'importanza dell'ignoranza come nozione epistemologica per la suddetta caratterizzazione. Grattan-Guinness ha sviluppato una ricerca estensiva sulle fonti originali, grazie alla sua conoscenza delle principali lingue europee lette e parlate.
