Mathematics — The Music of ReasonThis book is of interest for students of mathematics or of neighboring subjects like physics, engineering, computer science, and also for people who have at least school level mathematics and have kept some interest in it. Also good for younger readers just reaching their final school year of mathematics. |

Fourier avait l'opinion que le but principal des Mathématiques était l'utilité publique et l'explication des phénomènes naturels; mais un philosophe comme lui aurait dû savoir que le but unique de la Science, c'est l'honneur de l'esprit humain, et que sous ce titre une question de nombres vaut autant qu'une question du système du monde.
