Tartaglia versus Cardano. Solving cubic equations
Descartes versus Fermat. Analytic geometry and optics
Newton versus Leibniz. Credit for the calculus
Bernoulli versus Bernoulli. Sibling rivalry of the highest order
Sylvester versus Huxley. Ivory tower or real world?
Kronecker versus Cantor. Mathematical humbug
Borel versus Zermelo. The "notorious axiom"
Poincaré versus Russell. The logical foundations of mathematics
Hilbert versus Brouwer. Formalism versus intuitionism
Absolutists/platonists versus fallibilists/constructionists. Are mathematical advances discoveries or inventions?
