Ou il a ete, On ne pense pas sans lui. BJOERNSTJERNE BJOERNSON.

La science du nombre, la mathematique, qui est a la fois la plus ancienne et la plus developpee de toutes les sciences, renferme en son histoire beaucoup de noms, qui sont des pierres miliaires sur le parcours de la pensee humaine. Les noms d'Archimede, de Galilee, de Descartes, de Leibnitz et de Newton, d'Euler, de Laplace, de Gauss et de Cauchy, d'Abel, de Riemann et de Weierstrass, evoquent chacun l'image de toute une epoque. Ceux qui les porterent, en dehors de la puissance incisive de la pensee, se sont distingues par d'autres dispositions et particularites personnelles qui saisissent vivement l'imagination...
