Les Victoriens et les chiffres

Victorians and Numbers. Statistics and Society in Nineteenth Century Britain par Lawrence Goldman
• Presents Britain as the preeminent centre for the collection of statistics and their development as a branch of mathematics in the 19th century
• Explores the ‘data revolution’ in the 1830s, showing it as somewhat equivalent to the ‘digital revolution’ of our own era which stimulated the collection and use of statistics
• Demonstrates that our use of statistics to understand disease was already well-established in the Victorian period
• Shows that statistics were intimately connected to social reform and developments in the natural and social sciences in the Victorian period
