Book excerpt: Depuis quand l'homme sait-il compter. Les premiers vestiges de dénombrements ont été retrouvés sur des ossements préhistoriques. Produit de l'ingéniosité des générations humaines, le nombre traverse les continents et les civilisations qui l'adaptent et le transmettent... Les nombres et le calcul font partie de notre patrimoine culturel. Evaluation, prévision, simulation, notre vie est et sera influencée par la mesure, la comparaison, à commencer par la météo les jours de grands froids... Quand, comment les nombres que nous utilisons sont-ils apparus dans l'histoire ? Dans quelle civilisation ? L'auteur nous conduit aux sources du nombre avec ses premières représentations, il y a plus de quatre mille ans par les Sumériens : des tablettes de comptabilité associées aux premières traces d'écriture. Puis nous assistons à la naissance et à l'évolution des systèmes numériques : franchir le cap du millier ! Celui des Babyloniens est resté le plus performant pendant trois millénaires : notre partage des heures et des angles en minutes et secondes nous vient de cette époque lointaine. Sait-on qu'après la Bible ou le Coran, les Eléments d'Euclide ont été l'un des livres les plus diffusés dans l'histoire.? Cette fabuleuse histoire des nombres nous entraîne chez les Arabes, en Chine, en Inde, pour revenir en Europe et aux conjectures mathématiques du temps de Pascal et de Gauss...

Download or read book The New Politics of Numbers written by Andrea Mennicken and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-10-11 with total page 514 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book offers unique insight into how and where ideas and instruments of quantification have been adopted, and how they have come to matter. Rather than asking what quantification is, New Politics of Numbers explores what quantification does, its manifold consequences in multiple domains. It scrutinizes the power of numbers in terms of the changing relations between numbers and democracy, the politics of evidence, and dreams and schemes of bettering society. The book engages Foucault inspired studies of quantification and the economics of convention in a critical dialogue. In so doing, it provides a rich account of the plurality of possible ways in which numbers have come to govern, highlighting not only their disciplinary effects, but also the collective mobilization capacities quantification can offer. This book will be invaluable reading for academics and graduate students in a wide variety of disciplines, as well as policymakers interested in the opportunities and pitfalls of governance by numbers.
Download or read book Papers Presented to the Tenth International Conference on Patristic Studies Held in Oxford 1987 Historica theologica gnostica Biblica et Apocrypha written by Elizabeth A. Livingstone and published by Peeters Publishers. This book was released on 1989 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Papers presented at the Tenth International Conference on Patristic Studies held in Oxford 1987 (see also Studia Patristica 20, 21, 22 and 23). The successive sets of Studia Patristica contain papers delivered at the International Conferences on Patristic Studies, which meet for a week once every four years in Oxford; they are held under the aegis of the Theology Faculty of the University. Members of these conferences come from all over the world and most offer papers. These range over the whole field, both East and West, from the second century to a section on the Nachleben of the Fathers. The majority are short papers dealing with some small and manageable point; they raise and sometimes resolve questions about the authenticity of documents, dates of events, and such like, and some unveil new texts. The smaller number of longer papers put such matters into context and indicate wider trends. The whole reflects the state of Patristic scholarship and demonstrates the vigour and popularity of the subject.

Download or read book A Political Economy of the Measurement of Inflation written by Florence Jany-Catrice and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-01-12 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inflation should no longer be a politically sensitive indicator. Indeed, since the early 1980s, macroeconomic policies have managed to contain it. Yet the consumer price index (CPI), which is the main indicator for measuring inflation, remains very frequently consulted by citizens, due to its multiple uses. The CPI is used for indexing wages, pensions, but also various contracts such as food pensions. It is also used by National Accounts to deflate macroeconomic values and to provide data in “real” terms. But how is this CPI measured? index? What reforms have happened to give shape to the XXIst century CPI? This book presents the CPI based on the study of the controversies that have marked its history. Set in both the socio-economic and ideas contexts, these controversies show the eminently conventional and political nature of the CPI and, therefore, of many other macroeconomic indicators, such as growth or productivity.
