Sommario/riassunto

La critique historique est ample et diverse. Quiconque aborde un témoignage, passé ou présent, écrit ou oral, le jauge, l'apprécie, l’utilise avec prudence et circonspection, se trouve peut-être dans la situation de Monsieur Jourdain face à la prose : il pratique, sans le savoir, la critique historique. Celle-ci, en dépit de son nom, n'est donc nullement un ensemble de principes austères et de techniques érudites réservés à quelques initiés dénommés « historiens ». Mais elle n'en constitue pas moins pour ces derniers le point de départ de leur démarche scientifique et universitaire. Elle les invite sans cesse à la réflexion et à l'action. Elle n'est pas collection de dogmes et de préceptes intangibles, mais elle possède au contraire une étonnante capacité de se remettre en question, à l'épreuve, en fonction des époques, des sujets, des types de sources abordés.  Un groupe d'anciens étudiants du Professeur Jacques Paquet aux Facultés universitaires Saint-Louis, solidement formés par ce virtuose de la critique historique, atteste ici des multiples facettes de la démarche critique appliquée aux mots, aux choses et aux hommes. Entre les contributions originales rassemblées, aux objets si diversifiés, on décèlera un fil conducteur : la méthode.

Sommario/riassunto

Mathematicians solve equations, or try to. But sometimes the solutions are not as interesting as the beautiful symmetric patterns that lead to them. Written in a friendly style for a general audience, Fearless



Symmetry is the first popular math book to discuss these elegant and mysterious patterns and the ingenious techniques mathematicians use to uncover them. Hidden symmetries were first discovered nearly two hundred years ago by French mathematician évariste Galois. They have been used extensively in the oldest and largest branch of mathematics--number theory--for such diverse applications as acoustics, radar, and codes and ciphers. They have also been employed in the study of Fibonacci numbers and to attack well-known problems such as Fermat's Last Theorem, Pythagorean Triples, and the ever-elusive Riemann Hypothesis. Mathematicians are still devising techniques for teasing out these mysterious patterns, and their uses are limited only by the imagination. The first popular book to address representation theory and reciprocity laws, Fearless Symmetry focuses on how mathematicians solve equations and prove theorems. It discusses rules of math and why they are just as important as those in any games one might play. The book starts with basic properties of integers and permutations and reaches current research in number theory. Along the way, it takes delightful historical and philosophical digressions. Required reading for all math buffs, the book will appeal to anyone curious about popular mathematics and its myriad contributions to everyday life.
