Models and visual thinking in physical applications of differential equation theory: three case studies during the period 1850–1950 (Bashforth, Størmer, Lemaître)
Résumé
This paper is organized around three important works in applied mathematics that took place in the century 1850-1950: Francis Bashforth (1819-1912) and capillary action, Carl Størmer (1874-1957) and aurora borealis, Georges Lemaître (1894-1966) and cosmic rays. These three situations present the same characteristics as what we call today mathematical modeling and computer simulation.
