HENRI BROCARD (1865) UN INGÉNIEUR SAVANT DU Xixe SIÈCLE
OCTOBRE 2015 • LA JAUNE ET LA ROUGE 36 PARCOURS TRAJECTOIRES PAULINE ROMERA-LEBRET chercheur associé au Groupe d’histoire et diffusion des sciences d’Orsay (GHDSO) HENRI BROCARD (1865) UN INGÉNIEUR SAVANT DU XIXe SIÈCLE Dans une nécrologie d’Henri Brocard 1, on peut lire que sa curiosité s’étendait « à de nombreux domaines : sciences naturelles, économie rurale, météorologie », même si « c’est surtout comme mathématicien qu’il s’est fait un nom » et s’il vouait une passion à la bibliographie. Henri Brocard 2 est un exemple d’ingénieur-savant du XIXe siècle, à savoir un polytechnicien à la charnière entre la théorie et la pratique mais aussi entre les mathématiques et la physique. DR Brocard fournit sur son temps libre une importante production mathématique, en particulier sur la nouvelle géométrie du triangle.

6A. Mathematics
19-th Century ROMANTIC AGE Mathematics Collected and edited by Prof. Zvi Kam, Weizmann Institute, Israel The 19th century is called “Romantic” because of the romantic trend in literature, music and arts opposing the rationalism of the 18th century. The romanticism adored individualism, folklore and nationalism and distanced itself from the universality of humanism and human spirit. Coming back to nature replaced the superiority of logics and reasoning human brain. In Literature: England-Lord byron, Percy Bysshe Shelly Germany –Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Johann Christoph Friedrich von Schiller, Immanuel Kant. France – Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Alexandre Dumas (The Hunchback from Notre Dam), Victor Hugo (Les Miserable). Russia – Alexander Pushkin. Poland – Adam Mickiewicz (Pan Thaddeus) America – Fennimore Cooper (The last Mohican), Herman Melville (Moby Dick) In Music: Germany – Schumann, Mendelsohn, Brahms, Wagner. France – Berlioz, Offenbach, Meyerbeer, Massenet, Lalo, Ravel. Italy – Bellini, Donizetti, Rossini, Puccini, Verdi, Paganini. Hungary – List. Czech – Dvorak, Smetana. Poland – Chopin, Wieniawski. Russia – Mussorgsky. Finland – Sibelius. America – Gershwin. Painters: England – Turner, Constable. France – Delacroix. Spain – Goya. Economics: 1846 - The American Elias Howe Jr. builds the general purpose sawing machine, launching the clothing industry. 1848 – The communist manifest by Karl Marks & Friedrich Engels is published. Describes struggle between classes and replacement of Capitalism by Communism. But in the sciences, the Romantic era was very “practical”, and established in all fields the infrastructure for the modern sciences. In Mathematics – Differential and Integral Calculus, Logarithms. Theory of functions, defined over Euclidian spaces, developed the field of differential equations, the quantitative basis of physics. Matrix Algebra developed formalism for transformations in space and time, both orthonormal and distortive, preparing the way to Einstein’s relativity. -
National Library •••
From the shelves of the National Library ••• The Penguin Dictionary of curios and interesting geometry, by David Wells. Penguin. ISBN 0-14-011813-6. Reviewed by Chan Sing Chun This book is out of the ordinary in the sense that we do not have to read it from cover to cover. It is a dictionary of geometrical facts. It starts off with an introduction, a chronological list of mathematicians and a bibliography, and finally the dictionary (276 pages) itself, followed by an index. For example if you are interested in knowing what the "japanese Theorem" is all about, look it up here. Let the author explain: japanese theorem. johnson records this japanese theorem, typical of its period, exhibited in a temple to the glory of the gods and the discoverer, dated about 1800. Draw a convex polygon in a circle, and divide it into triangles. Inscribe a circle in each triangle. Then the sum of the radii of all the circles is independent of the vertex from which the triangulation starts. Any triangulation will do: the sum in the second figure is the same as the sum in the first. Reference: R. A. Johnson, Advanced Euclidean Geometry, Dover, New York, 1960. The proof is not given in the book and unfortunately the reference by R. A. johnson is not available in the National Library. Next, interested in knowing what "Brocard points of a triangle" are? Here is what the author says: Brocard points of a triangle. Named after Henri Brocard, a French army officer, who described them in 1875 . However, they had been studied earlier by jacobi, and also by Crelle, in 1816, who was led to exclaim, 'It is indeed wonderful that so simple a figure as the triangle is so inexhaustible in properties. -

The Conics of Ludwig Kiepert: a Comprehensive Lesson in the Geometry of the Triangle R
188 MATHEMATIC5 MAGAZINE The Conics of Ludwig Kiepert: A Comprehensive Lesson in the Geometry of the Triangle R. H. EDDY Memorial University of Newfoundland 5t. John's, Newfoundland, Canada A1C 557 R. FRITSCH Mathematisches Institut Ludwig-Maximilians-Unlversität D-8000 Munich 2, Germany 1. Introduction If a visitor from Mars desired to leam the geometry of the triangle but could stay in the earth' s relatively dense atmosphere only long enough for a single lesson, earthling mathematicians would, no doubt, be hard-pressed to meet this request. In this paper, we believe that we have an optimum solution to the problem. The Kiepert conics, though seemingly unknown today, constitute a significant part of the geometry of the triangle and to study them one has to deal with many fundamental concepts related to this geometry such as the Euler line, Brocard axis, circumcircle, Brocard angle, and the Lemoine line in addition to weIl-known points including the centroid, circumcen tre, orthocentre, and the isogonic centres. In the process, one comes into contact with not so weIl known, but no less important concepts, such as the Steiner point, the isodynamie points and the Spieker circle. In this paper, we show how the Kiepert' s conics are derived using both analytic and projective arguments and discuss their main properties, which we have drawn together from several sourees. We have applied some modem technology, in this case computer graphics, to produce aseries of pictures that should serve to increase the reader' s appreciation for this interesting pair of conics. In addition, we have derived some results that we were unable to locate in the available literature. -

The Fable of Edward Snowden
The Wall Street Journal December 31, 2016-January 1, 2017 The Fable of Edward Snowden As he seeks a pardon, the NSA thief has told multiple lies about what he stole and his dealings with Russian intelligence. by Edward Jay Epstein Of all the lies that Edward Snowden has told since his massive theft of secrets from the National Security Agency and his journey to Russia via Hong Kong in 2013, none is more provocative than the claim that he never intended to engage in espionage, and was only a “whistleblower” seeking to expose the overreach of NSA’s information gathering. With the clock ticking on Mr. Snowden’s chance of a pardon, now is a good time to review what we have learned about his real mission. Mr. Snowden’s theft of America’s most closely guarded communication secrets occurred in May 2013, according to the criminal complaint filed against him by federal prosecutors the following month. At the time Mr. Snowden was a 29-year-old technologist working as an analyst-in- training for the consulting firm of Booz Allen Hamilton at the regional base of the National Security Agency (NSA) in Oahu, Hawaii. On May 20, only some six weeks after his job there began, he failed to show up for work, emailing his supervisor that he was at the hospital being tested for epilepsy. This excuse was untrue. Mr. Snowden was not even in Hawaii. He was in Hong Kong. He had flown there with a cache of secret data that he had stolen from the NSA.
