Mathematics, History, Flammarion Woodcut, Pythagorean type of PhilosophyResumo
Flammarion’s Woodcut is a frequently discussed engraving in Camille Flammarion’s 1888 work on meteorology. It is interpreted herein as a symbolic presentation of the (Pythagorean) thesis that mathematics is the key to knowledge and, specifically, that the Calculus is the key to meteorological knowledge.
