• Sommario/riassunto: Les nuages contiennent d’énormes quantités d’eau. Comment font-ils pour ne pas nous tomber sur la tête, comme le redoutaient nos ancêtres les Gaulois ? Comment se forment-ils ? Comment se déplacent-ils ? Les réponses à ces quelques interrogations de bon sens nous familiarisent avec les bases de la météorologie, science des phénomènes atmosphériques. Comprendre les nuages, c’est comprendre le temps qu’il fait, du beau fixe aux catastrophes, mais aussi le cycle de l’eau et son influence sur le climat. Cette nouvelle édition, actualisée et enrichie des nouveaux moyens d’investigations, permettra à tout lecteur de découvrir les enjeux scientifiques cachés derrière la beauté de notre ciel.

• Sommario/riassunto: This book is based on a course I have given five times at the University of Michigan, beginning in 1973. The aim is to present an introduction to a sampling of ideas, phenomena, and methods from the subject of partial differential equations that can be presented in one semester and requires no previous knowledge of differential equations. The problems, with hints and discussion, form an important and integral part of the course. In our department, students with a variety of specialties-notably differen­ tial geometry, numerical analysis, mathematical physics, complex analysis, physics, and partial differential equations-have a need for such a course. The goal of a one-term course forces the omission of many topics. Everyone, including me, can find fault with the selections that I have made. One of the things that makes partial differential equations difficult to learn is that it uses a wide variety of tools. In a short course, there is no time for the leisurely development of background material. Consequently, I suppose that the reader is trained in advanced calculus, real analysis, the rudiments of complex analysis, and the language offunctional analysis. Such a background is not unusual for the students mentioned above. Students missing one of the "essentials" can usually catch up simultaneously. A more difficult problem is what to do about the Theory of Distributions.
