Ce livre expose de manière claire et progressive la façon dont sont nées les idées qui ont conduit à la réalisation des ordinateurs et des microprocesseurs actuels. Il offre au lecteur les clés lui permettant de mieux comprendre la nature et le fonctionnement de ces machines. L'histoire du calcul débute avec l'apparition des systèmes de numération et l'invention du zéro, elle se poursuit avec la conception des premières machines à calculer mécaniques et électro-mécaniques, puis aboutit enfin aux machines électroniques. Ces dernières apparaissent d'abord sous la forme d'ordinateurs primitifs constitués de volumineux tubes à vides, avant d'évoluer vers les machines sophistiquées que nous connaissons aujourd'hui, composées de millions de minuscules transistors en silicium. Richement illustrée, proposant fils conducteurs et détails de fonctionnement, l'histoire exposée dans cet ouvrage intéressera tous ceux et celles curieux de connaître la genèse et l'avènement des ordinateurs.

This book is a friendly and complete introduction to one of the most comprehensive contemporary theories of mathematics teaching and learning. By focusing on mathematical work performed by students and teachers during mathematics session, the theory of Mathematical Workings Spaces (MWS) has opened up new perspectives and avenues on mathematics education and mathematical thinking. In particular, it enables the identification of students' knowledge production processes and helps teachers to shape them. The first part of the book explores the heart of the theory and aims to further describe and understand epistemological and cognitive aspects of mathematical work. The second part develops the different MWS dedicated to observing how this work depends on the expectations of educational systems, how it is formed and taught, and how individuals appropriate it. In the last part, some applications and perspectives are discussed regarding topics of major importance today in mathematics education which relate to technological and digital tools, teacher training and modeling activities. In line with the spirit of the theory, the book was written to reflect the conceptual unity at the heart of the theory of MWS and, at the same time, to show the freedom and diversity of approaches given space therein. Written for researchers and professionals in mathematics education, it offers plenty of concrete examples from different educational systems around the world to illustrate the theoretical concepts and show the applicability of the theory to practice and research.
