Jeremy Gray Livres

Cet ouvrage raconte l'histoire des 23 problèmes que le grand mathématicien allemand David Hilbert a proposés à la sagacité des mathématiciens lors d'un congrès à Paris, en 1900. Ces problèmes ont considérablement influencé la recherche en mathématiques depuis cette date. Jeremy Gray propose une vision générale du développement des mathématiques de la fin du XIX e siècle à nos jours. Pour ce faire, il a replacé les mathématiques dans leur contexte historique, social et culturel. On trouve ainsi de nombreux développements sur différentes écoles de mathématiques : Bourbaki en France, l'école soviétique, les mathématiques aux Etats-Unis... et des notices biographiques sur de grands mathématiciens. Les problèmes sont présentés sans formalisme excessif (quelques compléments mathématiques sont présentés en encarts), ce qui rend le texte accessible à un large lectorat . Pierre Cartier présente en Introduction à la version française de ce livre : «les défis relevés par les mathématiciens de l'ère "post-hilbertienne"».

Focusing on the period from 1880 to 1920, the book explores the evolution of mathematics as a modernist movement akin to developments in art and literature. Jeremy Gray investigates the interplay between mathematics and various disciplines such as physics, philosophy, and psychology. He highlights the popularization of mathematics and its role in shaping the professional identity of mathematicians. Additionally, the work delves into the profound, often unanswerable questions that arose from this modernist transformation, showcasing its broader cultural implications.
