Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ce livre raconte la vie des instruments de navigation (arbalestrilles, sextants,... ) mais aussi des cartes, portulans, sphères armillaires, globes célestes et terrestres, ou encore la vie d'instruments de cosmographie (astrolabes ou volvelles), de la mesure du temps et en particulier de cadrans solaires. A travers les livres de " géométrie pratique ", on y parle d'unités de mesure, d'instruments de topographie et de tracé, cri laissant place au calcul de proportions, Toute une variété de disciplines ouvrent la porte à la trigonométrie. Enfin, quelques machines (machine de pascal, machine Enigma, analyseur harmonique) et systèmes articulés vous livrent leurs mystères. Les mathématiques ne sont pas simplement un domaine de connaissances théoriques abstraites , elles se concrétisent en un grand nombre d'instruments scientifiques qui font partie du patrimoine. Mais le patrimoine scientifique a la différence du patrimoine technique ou artistique est encore peu connu, peu analysé. L'ambition de ce livre est de faire découvrir, en s'appuyant sur le patrimoine Haut-Normand, la richesse de ces instruments qui attestent de la multiplicité des champs d'application des mathématiques a travers l'histoire. Nous avons la certitude qu'en retrouvant les démarches simples que permettaient les instruments anciens présentes dans nos musées, démarches décrites dans les livres conservés dans nos bibliothèques, les mathématiques gagnent en lisibilité. Les instruments font sortir les mathématiques de leur tour d'ivoire. Ces instruments scientifiques répondent à la quête du sens , on peut les voir, les construire, les utiliser et donc s'en emparer. Souvent ils sont à la fois mystérieux et beaux , pont entre l'art et la science. Les facteurs d'instruments ont souvent été des artistes géniaux. Les instruments scientifiques nous imitent à découvrir quelques-uns des coups de génie de l'humanité.
Download or read book Instruments of Science written by Robert Bud and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 1998 with total page 740 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With over 300 entries from the ancient abacus to X-ray diffraction, as represented by a ca. 1900 photo of an X- ray machine as well as the latest research into filmless x- ray systems, this tour of the history of scientific instruments in multiple disciplines provides context and a bibliography for each entry. Newer conceptions of "instrument" include organisms widely used in research: e.g. the mouse, drosophila, and E. coli. Bandw photographs and diagrams showcase more traditional instruments from The Science Museum, London, and the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: these. In this book, we appropriate their conception of research-technology, and ex tend it to many other phenomena which are less stable and less localized in time and space than the Zeeman/Cotton situation. In the following pages, we use the concept for instances where research activities are orientated primarily toward technologies which facilitate both the production of scientific knowledge and the production of other goods. In particular, we use the tenn for instances where instruments and meth ods· traverse numerous geographic and institutional boundaries; that is, fields dis tinctly different and distant from the instruments' and methods' initial focus. We suggest that instruments such as the ultra-centrifuge, and the trajectories of the men who devise such artefacts, diverge in an interesting way from other fonns of artefacts and careers in science, metrology and engineering with which students of science and technology are more familiar. The instrument systems developed by re search-technologists strike us as especially general, open-ended, and flexible. When tailored effectively, research-technology instruments potentially fit into many niches and serve a host of unrelated applications. Their multi-functional character distin guishes them from many other devices which are designed to address specific, nar rowly defined problems in a circumscribed arena in and outside of science. Research technology activities link universities, industry, public and private research or me trology establishments, instrument-making finns, consulting companies, the military, and metrological agencies. Research-technology practitioners do not follow the career path of the traditional academic or engineering professional.
Download or read book Instruments of Knowledge written by Jean-François Gauvin and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-06-19 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a bid to claim ‘scientific objects’ as requiring a significant amount of conceptual labor, this book looks sequentially at instruments, habits, and museums. The goal is to uncover how, together, these material and immaterial activities, rules, and commitments form one meaningful and credible blueprint revealing the building blocks of knowledge production. They serve to conceptualize and examine the entire life of an instrument: from its ideation and craft to its use, reuse, circulation, recycling, and (if not obliterated) its final entry into a museum. It is such an epistemological triptych that guides this investigation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cet ouvrage raconte l'histoire de Charles Beaudouin, constructeur d'instruments scientifiques. À travers ce parcours singulier, riche en découvertes, développements et rebondissements aussi bien scientifiques, technologiques que financiers, c'est tout le symbole d'une aventure scientifique et industrielle française du XXe siècle qu'aborde ce livre. Les faits de cette histoire, analysés et rapportés aux repères chronologiques essentiels permettent de suivre l'évolution d'une entreprise artisanale à ses débuts avant 1914, qui tentera l'aventure industrielle dans les années soixante. Cette entreprise familiale modeste, dont la vocation fut la conception et la réalisation d'instruments scientifiques élaborés en liaison étroite avec la recherche, ne pût résister aux pressions de l'évolution technologique, ainsi qu'à celles de la concentration européenne et mondiale. L'évolution des familles d'instruments tient une grande part, tant cette filiation instrumentale suit une histoire propre, en durée, en vitesse d'évolution ou en intensité, déterminée par le rythme du progrès scientifique. L'entreprise, créée par Charles Beaudouin puis dirigée par son neveu Paul Beaudouin, travaillera principalement dans les domaines de l'optique, la spectrographie, la radioactivité, le vide, la TSF, l'oscillographie, la cristallographie, la biologie et le magnétisme. Enfin, permettant au lecteur scientifique, historien ou simple curieux des progrès du siècle dernier de compléter ce récit, le livre brosse une brève histoire des constructeurs d'instruments scientifiques situés sur la montagne Sainte-Geneviève à Paris.

Download or read book The Ciphers of the Monks written by David A. King and published by Franz Steiner Verlag. This book was released on 2001 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first comprehensive study of an ingenious number-notation from the Middle Ages that was devised by monks and mainly used in monasteries. A simple notation for representing any number up to 99 by a single cipher, somehow related to an ancient Greek shorthand, first appeared in early-13th-century England, brought from Athens by an English monk. A second, more useful version, due to Cistercian monks, is first attested in the late 13th century in what is today the border country between Belgium and France: with this any number up to 9999 can be represented by a single cipher. The ciphers were used in scriptoria - for the foliation of manuscripts, for writing year-numbers, preparing indexes and concordances, numbering sermons and the like, and outside the scriptoria - for marking the scales on an astronomical instrument, writing year-numbers in astronomical tables, and for incising volumes on wine-barrels. Related notations were used in medieval and Renaissance shorthands and coded scripts. This richly-illustrated book surveys the medieval manuscripts and Renaissance books in which the ciphers occur, and takes a close look at an intriguing astrolabe from 14th-century Picardy marked with ciphers. With Indices. "Mit Kings luzider Beschreibung und Bewertung der einzelnen Funde und ihrer Beziehungen wird zugleich die Forschungsgeschichte - die bis dato durch Widerspruechlichkeit und Diskontinuit�t gepr�gt ist - umfassend aufgearbeitet." Zeitschrift fuer Germanistik.
