Présentation de l'éditeur

Mathematics will ever remain the most perfect type of theD eductive Method in general; and the applications of mathematics to the deductive branches of physics furnish the only school in which philosophers can effectually learn the most difficult and important portion of their art, the employment of the laws of simpler phenomena for explaining and predicting those of the more complex. These grounds are quite sufficient for deeming mathematical training an indispensable basis of real scientific education, and regarding (according to the dictum which an old but unauthentic tradition ascribes toP lato) one who is dyeujJ rpriT os, as wanting in one of the most essential qualifications for the successful cultivation of the higher branches of philosophy. John Stuart Mill :S ystem of Logic. Je me plaisais surtout aux mathtoatiques, kcause de la certitude et de PE vidence de leurs raisons; mais je ne remarquais point encore leur vrai usage, et, pensant qu elles ne servaient qu aux arts mcaniques, je metonnais de ce que, leur fondements Stant si fermes etsi solides, on navait rien bS ti dessus de plus relev6. Descartes :D iscours sur laM ethode, 1637.
