Le Verrier was a superb scientist. His discovery of Neptune in 1846 made him the most famous astronomer of his time. He produced a complete theory of the motions of the planets which served as a basis for planetary ephemeris for a full century. Doing this, he discovered an anomaly in the motion of Mercury which later became the first proof of General Relativity. He also founded European meteorology. However his arrogance and bad temper created many enemies, and he was even fired from his position of Director of the Paris Observatory.

Urbain Le Verrier, successeur de François Arago à l'Observatoire de Paris, a également droit à sa biographie par James Lequeux. Difficile d'imaginer hommes aussi dissemblables. Autant Arago, un vrai romantique, était extraverti et généreux, autant Le Verrier ne pouvait que travailler seul et avait des rapports difficiles avec les autres. Mais c'était un magnifique savant. Il a découvert Neptune par le calcul, « du bout de sa plume », et accompli une œuvre immense dont avaient rêvé bien d'autres sans pouvoir la réaliser : la théorie complète du mouvement des planètes dans le Système solaire. Il a réorganisé l'astronomie française, dans la douleur il est vrai, et mis en place un service météorologique international très efficace, ancêtre de Météo France. Personnage fascinant, Le Verrier a traversé son époque au milieu des haines et des controverses ; cependant, son œuvre a constamment été admirée, même de ses pires ennemis, et en a fait l'astronome le plus célèbre du milieu du XIXe siècle.

Dans cette série de nouvelles scientifiquement documentées et romancées qui frôlent parfois le picaresque, J-P Luminet nous dévoile les aventures de neuf principaux acteurs de l'astronomie entre la Renaissance et le XXème siècle. De Regiomontanus assassiné au cœur du Vatican pour s'être moqué des théories fumeuses de l'un de ses collègues, à la robe de cour offerte par le célèbre Halley à l'épouse d'Hevelius pour honorer leurs nuits passées sur une terrasse observatoire à regarder les étoiles ; de Maupertuis et ses Lapones, désireux de savoir si la Terre a la forme d'une mandarine ou d'un citron, à la décapitation de Bailly, maire de Paris sous la Révolution et illustre astronome, méprisant les simples calculs des mortels ; de Victor Hugo qui, dans son poème "La Comète" tord l'histoire des sciences pour la plier à ses désirs, à Camille Flammarion dont la bibliothèque cache des manuels reliés en chair humaine... Et d'autres aventures insolites admirablement contées par J-P Luminet qui nous parle d'argent, d'orgueil, de renommée mais aussi de femmes, inévitablement.

Mathematics in Ancient Egypt traces the development of Egyptian mathematics, from the end of the fourth millennium BC-and the earliest hints of writing and number notation-to the end of the pharaonic period in Greco-Roman times. Drawing from mathematical texts, architectural drawings, administrative documents, and other sources, Annette Imhausen surveys three thousand years of Egyptian history to present an integrated picture of theoretical mathematics in relation to the daily practices of Egyptian life and social structures.Imhausen shows that from the earliest beginnings, pharaonic civilization used numerical techniques to efficiently control and use their material resources and labor. Even during the Old Kingdom, a variety of metrological systems had already been devised. By the Middle Kingdom, procedures had been established to teach mathematical techniques to scribes in order to make them proficient administrators for their king. Imhausen looks at counterparts to the notation of zero, suggests an explanation for the evolution of unit fractions, and analyzes concepts of arithmetic techniques. She draws connections and comparisons to Mesopotamian mathematics, examines which individuals in Egyptian society held mathematical knowledge, and considers which scribes were trained in mathematical ideas and why.Of interest to historians of mathematics, mathematicians, Egyptologists, and all those curious about Egyptian culture, Mathematics in Ancient Egypt sheds new light on a civilization's unique mathematical evolution.
