[edit] Thoughts from a pseudo-mathematician

I've come to this from Wikipedia:WikiProject History of Science. I have some knowledge but no expertise in both French and maths, but some thoughts.

  • Intuition et logique §3: Could "une interdépendance fondatrice de la science" possibly mean something more like "a fundamental scientific interdependence" or "an interdependence fundamental to the science" (where science would mean mathematics)?
  • La physique mathématique§2: "à une époque donnée". Could this mean "over a given period", rather than "in a single time period"?
  • Mathematical Physics §3: try "In a more pragmatic way, his arguments support the idea of an interdependence, reflecting the updated one between intuition and analysis"?

[edit] Mathematical continuum

Anyone know if this refers to the continuum hypothesis?
