Invited Speakers

Hélène GISPERT

ph_heleneg

Hélène Gispert is professor in History of Science at Paris-Sud University. Her research focuses on the history of mathematics in the XIXth and XXth centuries France, more specifically on the history of circulation of mathematics in different institutional, social and cultural frames, and the history of French mathematical milieux.

Professor Gispert has been recently and for some years now working with the biographical approach, namely on the french mathematician Émile Borel, with several publications, like the forthcoming “Émile Borel (1871-1956) et Henri Lebesgue (1875-1941), Chronique d’une rupture annoncée” (In: Goldstein, C. (ed) Trajectoires de mathématiciens pendant la première guerre mondiale). Her experience with the biographical account deserved already interesting reflection: i.e. Gispert, Hélène. L’entreprise biographique à l’épreuve: écueils, défis, atouts du cas d’Emile Borel (In: L. Rollet & P. Nabonnand (dir.), Les Uns et les Autres… ; Biographies et prosopographies en histoire des sciences, Presses universitaires de Nancy, 2012).

Besides those mentioned works, other important contributions are:

  • Gispert, H. (2015), La France mathématique de la Troisième République avant la Grande Guerre, Paris : SMF.
  • Gispert, H. (2015), Philippe Nabonnand, Jeanne Peiffer (eds.), “Circulations et échanges mathématiques (18e-20e siècles)”, Philosophia Scientiae, 19 (2).
  • Aubin, D.,  Gispert, H.  &  Goldstein, C. (2014), “The total war of French mathematicians”, in D. Aubin & C. Goldstein (eds.), The war of Guns and Mathematics, Providence: AMS, 125-179.
  • Gispert, H. (2014) “Mathematics Education in France (1800-1980)”, in Karp Alexander & Schubring Gert (eds.), Handbook on the History of Mathematics Education,  Springer, 229-240.
