Ce poate matematica să spună despre istorie?  După părerea lui Jean Baptiste Michel, poate spune chiar multe. De la schimbările în limbaj la numărul victimelor din războaie, el ne demonstrează cum istoria digitalizată abia începe să ne dezvăluie tiparele ascunse.

Jean-Baptiste Michel: Matematica istoriei

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.
