‎---- EDITION ORIGINALE ---- TRES BEL EXEMPLAIRE ---- "Mathieu belongs to the great french tradition of mathematical physicists... One of his main interests was in potential theory in which he introduced a new distinction between first and second potential… He applied these results to the especially difficult problem of the vibration of bells and he also made général applications of his ideas of potential theory to the study of dialectrics and magnétic induction. In his treatment of electrodynamics he suggested that the traversal of a conductor by an electric current gave rise to a pair of neighboring layers of electricity, rather than just a single layer".
