La correspondance entre Henri Poincaré et les physiciens, chimistes et ingénieurs (Publications des Archives Henri Poincaré Publications of the Henri Poincaré Archives)
by Scott Walter Etienne Bolmont André CoretL'intérêt que portait Henri Poincaré (1854-1912) à des questions d'ordre physique a été durable et profond; elle couvre presque toute sa carrière, et marque l'histoire de la physique tout au long du 20ème siècle. Sa correspondance avec cinquante-et-un physiciens, quatre chimistes, et cinq ingénieurs commence dès 1879, lorsqu'il s'engage activement dans la recherche scientifique. Elle est rythmée par des grandes découvertes d'ordre expérimental, instrumental, et théorique. Henri Poincaré, while well-known as the most brilliant mathematician at the close of the 19th century, is also a founder of 20th-century physics, in virtue of his fundamental contributions to Maxwell's theory, systems dynamics, electron theory, relativity and quantum theory. These subjects and others are discussed in this critical edition of his correspondence with sixty physicists, chemists, and engineers.
La correspondance entre Henri Poincaré, les astronomes, et les géodésiens (Publications des Archives Henri Poincaré Publications of the Henri Poincaré Archives)
by Scott Walter Ralf Krömer Philippe Nabonnand Martina SchiavonThe letters in this volume cover Poincaré's multifaceted career in astronomy in its entirety, extending from the time of his first publications in 1880 to the end of his life in 1912. At a tender age, Poincaré established his authority in questions of celestial mechanics, and his views were soon sought after on a vast array of questions by the leading astronomers and geodesists of his time, including C.V.L. Charlier, G.H. Darwin, H. Faye, F.R. Helmert, G. W. Hill, A. Lindstedt, A.M. Liapunov, N. Lockyer, S. Newcomb, K. Schwarzschild, and F. Tisserand. Poincaré and his correspondents take up topics ranging from the three-body problem and perturbation theory to the determination of the geoide and the equilibrium figures of rotating fluid masses. The volume also sheds light on Poincaré's three terms as president of the Bureau of Longitudes, where he guided French astronomy and geodesy through ambitious projects, such as the measurement of an arc of meridian near Quito.------Les lettres du troisième volume de la Correspondance de Poincaré scandent toute son œuvre astronomique, allant de ses premiers mémoires sur les courbes définies par une équation différentielle (1881), jusqu'aux analyses des hypothèses cosmogoniques (1911). Encore très jeune, Poincaré s'est fait remarquer pour sa maîtrise des questions de la mécanique céleste, de tel sorte que les astronomes et les géodésiens l'ont souvent interpellé, y compris O. Callandreau, C.V.L. Charlier, G.H. Darwin, F.R. Helmert, A. Lindstedt, A.M. Lyapunov, Simon Newcomb, Karl Schwarzschild et F. Tisserand.Avec ses correspondants, Poincaré abordaient les questions principales de l'astronomie mathématique, du célèbre problème des trois corps à la théorie des perturbations et aux figures d'équilibre des masses fluides en rotation. La correspondance de Poincaré éditée et annotée dans ce volume concerne, au-delà des mémoires mathématiques, l'activité de Poincaré en tant que Professeur d'astronomie mathématique et de mécanique céleste à la Sorbonne, rédacteur en chef duBulletin astronomique, et membre du Bureau des longitudes, que Poincaré a présidé à trois reprises. Sa correspondance illumine, dans ce dernier cadre, la réalisation de la mesure d'un arc de méridien à Quito, et le règlement d'un différend franco-brittanique à propos de la différence de longitude entre Greenwich et Paris.
Colloquium on Fatigue / Colloque de Fatigue / Kolloquium über Ermüdungsfestigkeit: Stockholm May 25–27, 1955 Proceedings / Stockholm 25–27 Mai 1955 Comptes Rendus / Stockholm 25.–27. Mai 1955 Verhandlungen (IUTAM Symposia)
by Waloddi Weibull F. K. G. OdqvistUpon the request of the International Union of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (IUTAM) the Swedish National Committee for Mechanics organized a colloquium on fatigue, which was held at the Royal Institute of Technology (Kung!. Tekniska Hogskolan) in Stock holm, May 25-27, 1955. 35 lectures were delivered, principally dealing with problems of statistical and basic nature. Among the topics were to be found statis tical theory of fatigue, cumulative damage, mechanism of fatigue, me tallurgical aspects on fatigue, velocity of fatigue cracks, fatigue at elevated temperature, and fatigue at combined stresses. Lectures were going on simultaneously in two sections. Each lecturer had 15 minutes for presentation of his communication, and afterwards 15 minutes were reserved for discussion. Abstracts of the lectures were distributed about a month before the colloquium. The colloquium was attended by 149 participants from the follow ing countries: Denmark (1), Finland (2), France (5), Germany (6), Italy (2), Netherlands (2), Norway (2), Poland (2), Saar (1), Spain (3), Sweden (100), Switzerland (1), United Kingdom (10), USA (8), USSR (3), and Yugoslavia (1). A complete list of the participants will be found below. The languages of the Colloquium were English, French, German and Italian. No lectures were delivered in Italian. Also, all contributions to the discussions have been translated to one of the first three languages. Statements and opinions advanced are always those of the individual authors or participants in the discussions.
Souvenirs d'apprentissage (Vita Mathematica #6)
by André WeilL’auteur, mathématicien, mais dont l‘horizon ne s‘est jamais borné aux mathématiques, évoque ici les souvenirs d’une carrière qui l’a mené dans plusieurs continents : Italie et Allemagne d’abord, puis l’Inde où il séjourna et enseigna à une époque décisive pour l’histoire de ce pays, et où il rencontra brièvement Ghandi, et plus longuement Jawaharlal Nehru ; l’U.R.S.S., à un moment où le stalinisme semblait se relâcher avant de rependre bientôt en toute férocité ; Princeton, le « clearing house » moderne des idées mathématiques, dit parfois le paradis des mathématiciens ; la prison, en Finlande, où, pris pour un espion soviétique, il manqua de peu le poteau d’exécution, puis en France où il fut condamné pour avoir tenté de se soustraire à ses obligations militaires, et où il eut le temps de rédiger à la prison de Rouen l’un de ses meilleurs travaux mathématiques ; l’Angleterre où il vécut la bataille de Londres avant de se retrouver en France et d’en repartir pour l’Amérique ; le Brésil enfin, terme de ses vicissitudes. A travers ces épisodes souvent pittoresques s’est déroulé un destin de mathématicien dont l’un des points saillants fut sa participation à la fondation du groupe Bourbaki, auteur collectif d’un traité déjà devenu classique.
