Norbert Wiener et les valeurs de la science

2007

L'engagement politique du mathématicien Norbert Wiener, fondateur du mouvement cybernétique aux Etats-Unis, offre un exemple particulièrement riche des différentes formes d'usage des valeurs de la science dans le débat public. Norbert Wiener a en effet choisi de s'impliquer dans une série de débats politiques, qui fait suite à la Seconde Guerre Mondiale, sur la question des armes atomiques, sur l'impact social des machines automatiques et des calculateurs, sur la nouvelle politique de la science.

The role of virtual work in Levi-Civita's parallel transport

2015

International audience; According to current history of science, Levi-Civita introduced parallel transport solely to give a geometrical interpretation to the covariant derivative of absolute differential calculus. Levi-Civita, however, searched a simple computation of the curvature of a Riemannian manifold, basing on notions of the Italian school of mathematical physics of his time: holonomic constraints, virtual displacements and work, which so have a remarkable, if not dominant, role in the origin of parallel transport.

The anatomical models of Dr Auzoux, an industrial success in the service of veterinary medicine

2013

Dr. Louis Auzoux (1797-1880) is known all over the world for the anatomical models made of papier maché he produced and exported over the world. If the models related to human aesthetics are more reknown, they are far from being the only ones that the famous industrialist has designed and marketed; animals, plants and especially flowers, are another facet of his art. Models dedicated to horse had a special significance for the company. The horses made of paper, the series of bones defects and jaw he created were massively bought by the administration of the war to provide the regiments the pedagogical materials necessary to train recruits. Through these fascinating objects, this is a progra…
