| Summary: | Calculation and mathematical formalisation constitute an important part of knowledge. Their ethnographic study raises classic questions about the validity of data, equations and models. It accounts for their construction and the social and semiotic networks that make it possible demonstrations in their classical or modern forms. The published articles also underline the collective nature of mathematical activity and its use of material devices and multiple supports. |
