Žans-Batists Mikels: Vēstures matemātika

Vēstures matemātika

Kas matemātikai sakāms par vēsturi? Saskaņā ar TED biedru Žanu-Batistu Mikelu, diezgan daudz kas. No izmaiņām valodās  līdz karu nāvīgumam, viņš parādā, kā digitalizētā vēsture tikai sākt atklāt dziļi caurvijošas sistēmas.

Mathematics is revealing surprising regularities in how languages evolve and how wars unfold across centuries. For example, irregular verbs in English become regular at predictable rates, and wars are exponentially less frequent as they grow deadlier. With millions of books now digitized, the once unmeasurable fabric of human history is open to quantitative analysis. As data grows, the sciences and humanities are poised to merge, unlocking deeper insights about how cultures change.
