‎---- BEL EXEMPLAIRE ---- Neuvième édition REVUE ET MISE AU COURANT du nouveau programme par A. DE SAINT-BERMAIN ---- "In 1838, Sturm was named répétiteur of analysis in Liouville's course at the Ecole Polytechnique where he became professor of analysis and mechanics in 1840... In 1837 he became chevalier of the Légion of Honor and in 1840 he won the Copley Medal of the Royal Society and was elected a member of that body... An excellent lecturer, he was admired for both his personal qualities and his knowledge... His Cours de mécanique, like his Cours d'analyse was used by many students and remained a classic for half a century... Sturm, who was so adept at combining mathematics with physics in his work, appears today, by virtue of his modes of thinking, as a very modern scientist. Since 1900 there has been growing interest in his mathematical work, especially in the United States...". (DSB XIII pp. 126/132)**4909/n6de-4915/Cav.g4-4914/cav.e3-4913/cav.g2-4912/N6DE‎
