Number Theory in the Nouvelles annales de mathématiques (1842-1927): A Case Study About Mathematical Journals for Teachers and Students

Résumé

The Nouvelles annales de mathématiques were a French mathematical journal, published between 1842 and 1927, intended for teachers and students. In this paper, I rely on a systematic analysis in the NAM of number theory content-a mathematical field that was virtually absent from French education programs during the period under consideration here. By articulating quantitative and qualitative approaches, my goal is twofold: to study what specific forms number theory takes through this specific media on the one hand; and to question the specific character of the functioning of a journal like the NAM in the case of number theory on the other. For this, I take into account the actors involved (editors, authors, readers), the various forms of texts published, and the themes studied, as well as the arithmetical practices and discourses that are brought to bear.
