Thermodynamique

Excerpt from Thermodynamique Un vieux professeur m'a raconté que, il v a cinquante ans environ, un étudiant, qui déjà se croyait un maître, avait choisi pour sujet de thèse, à la Faculté des Sciences de Paris, les applications du principe des forces vives. La démonstra tion du principe fut la première question qu'on lui adressa; il parut fort surpris. Ou ne peut pas, dit - il, démontrer un axiome. Les juges, fort surpris à leur tour, lui refusèrent le diplôme. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
