Very scarce are the scholars who, following the example of the illustrious mathematician Henri Poincare, have discovered its weakness and pointed out its uncertainties.Très rares sont les savants qui, à l'exemple de l'illustre mathématicien Poincare, en ont pénétré les faiblesses et signalé les incertitudes.Le Bon, Gustave / The evolution of forcesLe Bon, Gustave / L'évolution des forcesL'évolution des forcesLe Bon, Gustave© 1905, by Ernest Flammarion, ParisThe evolution of forcesLe Bon, Gustave© Kegan Paul, Trench, Trubner & Co., London, 1908
The illustrious mathematician Maxwell had already shown by a much bolder hypothesis than mine—since it implies the existence of very subtle demons—how the principle of Carnot might be violated and the course of things retraced.L'illustre mathématicien Maxwell avait déjà montré par une hypothèse très hardie, puisqu'elle implique l'existence de démons fort subtils, comment on pourrait violer le principe de Carnot et remonter le cours des choses.Le Bon, Gustave / The evolution of forcesLe Bon, Gustave / L'évolution des forcesL'évolution des forcesLe Bon, Gustave© 1905, by Ernest Flammarion, ParisThe evolution of forcesLe Bon, Gustave© Kegan Paul, Trench, Trubner & Co., London, 1908
In saying this, the illustrious mathematician was evidently persuaded that the system of the universe must be considered as established once for all: This simple belief has no longer many adherents.En traçant ces lignes l'illustre mathématicien considérait évidemment le système du monde comme définitivement fixé. Cette foi simpliste ne compte plus beaucoup de croyants.Le Bon, Gustave / The evolution of forcesLe Bon, Gustave / L'évolution des forcesL'évolution des forcesLe Bon, Gustave© 1905, by Ernest Flammarion, ParisThe evolution of forcesLe Bon, Gustave© Kegan Paul, Trench, Trubner & Co., London, 1908
These discrepancies, however, did not greatly trouble the mathematicians.Ces discordances ne gênaient pas beaucoup d'ailleurs les premiers.Le Bon, Gustave / The evolution of forcesLe Bon, Gustave / L'évolution des forcesL'évolution des forcesLe Bon, Gustave© 1905, by Ernest Flammarion, ParisThe evolution of forcesLe Bon, Gustave© Kegan Paul, Trench, Trubner & Co., London, 1908
Non-mathematicians must keep in mind that when statisticians refer to linear or nonlinear, they are not describing the shape of a mark drawn by a pencil on a piece of paper. They are referring to the relationships of elements within an equation.Rappelons aux non-mathématiciens que, pour le statisticien, les qualificatifs linéaire ou non linéaire ne décrivent pas une forme dessinée, mais qu'ils qualifient les relations des éléments avec une équation.© Sa Majeste la Reine du chef du Canada (Environnement Canada) 2005http://www.ec.gc.ca 4/7/2012© Her Majesty the Queen in Right of Canada (Environment Canada) 2005http://www.ec.gc.ca 4/7/2012
The mathematicians themselves often employ similar language.Les mathématiciens eux-mêmes emploient souvent un langage analogue.Le Bon, Gustave / The evolution of forcesLe Bon, Gustave / L'évolution des forcesL'évolution des forcesLe Bon, Gustave© 1905, by Ernest Flammarion, ParisThe evolution of forcesLe Bon, Gustave© Kegan Paul, Trench, Trubner & Co., London, 1908
While the mathematicians were drawing up formulas, the physicists were making experiments, and these experiments fitted in less and less with the formulas.Pendant que les mathématiciens établissaient des formules, les physiciens faisaient des expériences et ces expériences cadraient de moins en moins avec les formules.Le Bon, Gustave / The evolution of forcesLe Bon, Gustave / L'évolution des forcesL'évolution des forcesLe Bon, Gustave© 1905, by Ernest Flammarion, ParisThe evolution of forcesLe Bon, Gustave© Kegan Paul, Trench, Trubner & Co., London, 1908
