Leibniz en Créateur. Un regard matériel sur sa machine à calculer

Between 1671 and 1716, the German mathematician Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz attempted to design a reckoning machine. Working closely with the Parisian clockmaker Monsieur Ollivier, Leibniz eventually failed at producing a working prototype. After the redisco ...

How Leibniz read Pascal’s Geometry: The Practice of Reading as Hybrid Hermeneutics in the Materiality of Leibniz’s Pascaliana

Simon François Dumas Primbault

Between 1675 and 1676, while in Paris, Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (1646–1716) got privileged access to some geometric manuscripts from late Blaise Pascal’s hand. Although said manuscripts are not extant, Leibniz’s reading notes were preserved, together with ...

“Transplanting the human mind into inanimate matter”: Leibniz’s Reckoning Machine Seen from a Media Perspective

Simon François Dumas Primbault

Between 1672 and 1694, the German mathematician Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (1646-1716) attempted to design a reckoning machine that would be able to perform the four basic arithmetic operations on multiple-digit numbers. Working closely with the French cloc ...

Theory Space: The Architecture Studio

Emmanuel Petit

Somewhere around the late 60's, the architectural studio underwent a 'conceptual' turn which, some fifty years later, would unknowingly become the model for the now fashionable 'start-up', 'business incubator' and 'think-tank' spaces that have sprung up fr ...

Designing modeling notations readers understand

George Popescu

[Context] IT modelers create models to communicate their conceptualization of an organization and to facilitate the collaboration between business and IT people. The story they convey in their models is how the corporate IT systems fulfill the business peo ...

Using the Physics of Notations Theory to Evaluate the Visual Notation of SEAM

Alain Wegmann, George Popescu

Modeling languages are used to make models that are commonly used in communicating about real-life situations such as the modeling of business and IT requirements in organizations. A way to evaluate how effective the modeling languages are for communicatin ...

Contact between representative rough surfaces

Jean-François Molinari, Guillaume Anciaux, Vladislav Yastrebov

A numerical analysis of mechanical frictionless contact between rough self-affine elastic manifolds was carried out. It is shown that the lower cutoff wave number in surface spectra is a key parameter controlling the representativity of the numerical model ...
