Synopsis
Excerpt from Les Origines de la Statique, Vol. 1
L'idée dont le premier germe se trouvait dans le traité de Jordanas avait grandi, suivant un développement continu, au travers des écrits des disciples de Jordanas, de Léonard de Vinci, de Cardan, de Roberval, de Descartes, de Wallis, pour atteindre sa forme achevée dans la lettre de Jean Ber noulli a Varignon, dans la Mécanique Analytique de Lagrange, dans l'oeuvre de Willard Gibbs. La Science dont nous sommes aujourd'hui si légitimement fiers dérivait, par une évolution dont il nous était donné de marquer les phases graduelles, de la Science qui naquit vers l'an 1200.
