Ce Petit traité d'intégration développe une approche originale de l'intégrale. Cette approche, que l'on pourrait qualifier de globale, est due aux deux mathématiciens Jaroslaw Kurzweil et Ralph Henstock. L'enseignement de l'intégration se fait d'ordinaire en deux temps. On début…
In this book, the author pays tribute to Bernhard Riemann (1826-1866), mathematician with revolutionary ideas, whose work on the theory of integration, the Fourier transform, the hypergeometric differential equation, etc. contributed immensely to mathematical physics. This book …
Eight essays trace seminal ideas about the foundations of geometry that led to the development of Einstein's general theory of relativity.
From Riemann to differential geometry and relativity
This book explores the work of Bernhard Riemann and its impact on mathematics, philosophy and physics. It features contributions from a range of fields, historical expositions, and selected research articles that were motivated by Riemann's ideas and demonstrate their timelessne…
