===Articles=== [[File:Kosambi-dd.jpg|thumb|right|150px|[[Damodar Dharmananda Kosambi|Damodar Kosambi]] authored the first article attributing material to "Bourbaki"]] Several journal articles have appeared in the mathematical literature with material or authorship attributed to Bourbaki; unlike the ''Éléments'', they were typically written by individual members<ref name="archiver" /> and not crafted through the usual process of group consensus. Despite this, Jean Dieudonné's essay "The Architecture of Mathematics" has become known as Bourbaki's [[manifesto]].{{sfn|Aubin|pp=305–08}}{{sfn|Corry|1997|pp=272–73}} Dieudonné addressed the issue of overspecialization in mathematics, to which he opposed the inherent unity of ''mathematic'' (as opposed to mathematics) and proposed mathematical structures as useful tools which can be applied to several subjects, showing their common features.{{sfn|Corry|2004|pp=303–05}} To illustrate the idea, Dieudonné described three different systems in arithmetic and geometry and showed that all could be described as examples of a [[group (mathematics)|group]], a specific kind of ([[algebraic structure|algebraic]]) structure.{{sfn|Bourbaki 1950|pp=224–26}} Dieudonné described the [[axiomatic method]] as "the '[[Taylor system]]' for mathematics" in the sense that it could be used to solve problems efficiently.{{sfn|Bourbaki 1950|p=227}}{{efn|Dieudonné immediately qualified the comparison as "a very poor analogy", continuing: "the mathematician does not work like a machine, nor as the workingman on a moving belt; we can not over-emphasize the fundamental role played in his research by a special intuition, which is not the popular sense-intuition, but rather a kind of direct divination... of the normal behavior... of mathematical beings."{{sfn|Bourbaki 1950|p=227}} }} Such a procedure would entail identifying relevant structures and applying established knowledge about the given structure to the specific problem at hand.{{sfn|Bourbaki 1950|p=227}} * {{cite journal |last=Kosambi |first=D.D. |title=On a Generalization of the Second Theorem of Bourbaki |journal=Bulletin of the Academy of Sciences of the United Provinces of Agra and Oudh, Allahabad, India |volume=1 |pages=145–47 |date=1931 |isbn=978-81-322-3674-0 }} Reprinted in {{cite book|title= D.D.
