La Science à l'usage des non-scientifiques

Synopsis of La Science à l'usage des non-scientifiques

«La Science à l'usage des non-scientifiques» is the popular science essay by Albert Jacquard (Calmann-Lévy, 2001), paperback, 225 pages, in French.

Albert Jacquard recalls a mathematics session with students who thought they were «not made for science» and who followed with interest Cantor's infinities or Gödel's theorem. He argues that this ability is not innate and proposes a book that does not cover all of science, but helps reach «base camps» to keep learning.

The original edition dates from September 5, 2001. Albert Jacquard, a geneticist, is also the author of works such as Petite Philosophie à l'usage des non-philosophes and L'Équation du nénuphar.

For readers interested in science without specialized training, and for those who want to approach scientific concepts with accessible explanations.
