Polémiques et constructifs à la fois, faits de reprises et detraductions, de controverses et de confrontations, les échangesentre les savants britanniques et français ont joué un rôleessentiel dans le développement de la science en Europe depuisle XVIIe siècle. Ni les guerres qui ont opposé les deux pays,ni l’attachement à des figures emblématiques d’unescience nationale n’ont pu durablement entraver lapoursuite de constantes interactions et de fructueusescollaborations au service du développement du savoir.Les dix-neuf contributions ici rassemblées, dont les auteurs,français ou britanniques, s’expriment chacun dans leurlangue, examinent avec précision quelques-uns des épisodesde ces échanges, dans les domaines des mathématiques etde l’astronomie, de la physique, de la chimie et des théoriesdu vivant, en s’attachant à la correspondance, aux politiquesde traduction, aux relations entre institutions savantes ouaux prolongements techniques et industriels de la recherche.Ces travaux résultent d’un colloque qui s’est tenu à la Maisonfrançaise d’Oxford en mars 2006 à l’initiative de la Sociétéfrançaise d’histoire des sciences et des techniques et de l’EuropeanSociety for the history of science, en collaboration avec la Britishsociety for the history of science et le réseau Europaeum.Interactions between the scientific communities of Britain andFrance have done much to fashion the course of Europeanscience since the seventeenth century. Marked on occasionsby rivalry and unhelpful displays of national pride as well asby cooperation, the interactions provide a fascinating subjectfor historical enquiry. This volume assembles nineteen essayson key themes including travel, correspondence, translation,collaborative and competitive research, and the role ofexchanges at both the personal and the institutional level, withexamples drawn from astronomy, mathematics, the physicaland life sciences, and the work of industrial laboratories.The essays have their origin in an international conferenceheld at the Maison française, Oxford in March 2006 as a jointinitiative of the Société française d’histoire des sciences et destechniques and the European Society for the History of Science,in collaboration with the British Society for the History ofScience and the Europaeum network of European universities.

    Historically, the notion of entropy emerged in conceptually very distinct contexts. This book deals with the connection between entropy, probability, and fractional dynamics as they appeared, for example, in solar neutrino astrophysics since the 1970's (Mathai and Rathie 1975, Mathai and Pederzoli 1977, Mathai and Saxena 1978, Mathai, Saxena, and Haubold 2010).The original ...

     The book first explains the main properties of analytic functions in order to use them in the study of various problems in p-adic value distribution. Certain properties of p-adic transcendental numbers are examined such as order and type of transcendence, with problems on p-adic exponentials. Lazard's problem for analytic functions inside a disk is explained. P-adic meromo...
