Extract

L’étude approfondie de la nature est la source la plus féconde des découvertes mathématiques. Non seulement cette étude, en offrant aux recherches un but déterminé, a l’avantage d’exclure les questions vagues et les calculs sans issue, elle est encore un moyen assuré de former l’analyse elle-même, et d’en découvrir les éléments qu’il nous importe le plus de connaître, et que cette science doit toujours conserver.

“Column VII shows that N × A 2/3, where A is the atomic weight, is constant for the elements examined, i.e. that the scattering per centimetre air equivalent is proportional to A 3/2.”
