«L'équation du nénuphar» is the popular science essay by Albert Jacquard, published by LGF/Le Livre de Poche in paperback (184 pages, in French).
For Jacquard, learning is not about accumulating lessons or diplomas, but about questioning and reasoning. The book offers a playful approach to science through puzzles and problems, including the famous «water lily equation», and shows that scientific knowledge is a pleasure and a tool for civic life, freedom of thought and a fairer society.
The essay was originally published in 1998; this paperback edition is from March 2000. It corresponds to number 14811 in the Le Livre de Poche collection.
Recommended for curious readers who want to discover science from a popular science perspective and reflect on its role in society.
Albert Jacquard was a French geneticist, popularizer of science and essayist.
