Extractions: Adolphe Quetelet (1796-1874) was a gifted Belgian mathematician and astronomer, whose application of statistical reasoning to social phenomena profoundly influenced the course of European social science. The history of the social sciences from the late 1830s onwards is, in large measure, the story of the application and refinement of ideas about the operation of probability in human affairs. These ideas about probability gained widespread currency in intellectual and government circles through the writings of Quetelet. Quetelet's life long interest in gathering and interpreting statistics began in earnest in the early 1820s, when he was employed by the government of the Low Countries to improve the collection and interpretation of census data. European governments had made practical use of ideas probability well before the 1820s However, Quetelet was convinced that probability influenced the course of human affairs more profoundly than his contemporaries appreciated.

Extractions: 1932 : suppression du volet linguistique du recensement 1932 : suppression du volet linguistique du recensement , les réponses apportées au volet linguistique de ce recensement sont utilisées pour définir les limites territoriales des régions unilingues wallonne et flamande, et de la région bilingue de Bruxelles. La frontière linguistique est alors mouvante, elle dépend du résultat des recensements décennaux de population. Les événements de mai 40, en supprimant le recensement prévu cette année-là, ne dénoueront pas le nœud d’un problème qui réapparaît en 1947. A la frontière des langues et à la périphérie de Bruxelles, l’usage de la langue française progresse. A Enghien, si la connaissance du français passe entre 1930 et 1947 de 90 à 96% sa pratique la plus fréquente passe de 47 à 89%. La majorité change et la pratique du flamand tombe loin en dessous des 30% nécessaires à la communication dans les deux langues ! A Bruxelles, toute l’agglomération devient à majorité francophone par la francisation de Molenbeek, Jette, Koekelberg et Anderlecht auxquelles viennent s’ajouter Ganshoren, Evere et Berchem-Sainte-Agathe; d’autres communes périphériques se francisent: les Flamands alarmés parlent d’une "tache d’huile" à propos de Bruxelles dont les communes bilingues étaient passées de 16 à 19 en 1954. Le phénomène de francisation est réel. Le tracé de la frontière linguistique se déplace vers le Nord, suivant la volonté des hommes. Sous la pression du mouvement flamand, relayé par le CVP, le volet linguistique du recensement prévu le 1er janvier 1960 et reporté au 31 décembre est purement et simplement supprimé. En effet, deux cents bourgmestres flamands ont refusé de le remplir et l’ont renvoyé au ministère de l’Intérieur. Cet acte de désobéissance civique est "sanctionné" par... l’adoption rapide d’une loi modifiant la loi de 1932 et supprimant le volet linguistique des recensements. L’opposition wallonne à cette loi fut de peu d’importance tant était grand, dans le Mouvement wallon comme dans le Mouvement flamand, le désir de fixer définitivement la frontière linguistique sur le modèle des travaux du Centre Harmel

Extractions: Adolphe Quetelet Adolphe Quetelet was one of the most influential social statisticians of the nineteenth century. His applications of statistical reasoning to social phenomena profoundly influenced the course of European social science. Quetelet had come to be known as the champion of a new science, dedicated to mapping the normal physical and moral characteristics. Quetelet called it social mechanics. He published a detailed account of the new science in 1835 which he titled A T reatise on Man, and the Development of His Faculties . This was a lengthy account of the influence of probability over human affairs. Quetelet thought more of "average" physical and mental qualities as real properties of particular people or races awaiting discovery and not just abstract concepts. Quetelet helped give cognitive strength to ideas of racial differences in ni neteenth century European thought. His conception of "average man" is the central value about which measurements of a human trait are grouped according to the normal curve. The "average man" began as a simple way of summarizing some characteristic of a population, but in some of Quetelets later work, "average man" is presented as an ideal type, as if nature were shooting at the "average man" as a target and deviations from this target were errors. Cournot and ot hers criticized the concept. An individual average in all dimensions might not even be biologically feasible, they argued.

Extractions: Een ander gebied waarop grafieken een zekere rol hebben gespeeld was het onderzoek naar zaken als de samenstelling en de groei van bevolking van een land; dit soort onderzoek vormde vanaf de 17e eeuw een belangrijke impuls voor de ontwikkeling van de statistiek. We zagen al eerder dat Chr. Huygens een van de pioniers was op dit terrein. Klik op het plaatje om de grafiek te kunnen zien De wiskundige J.B.J. Fourier (1768-1830) maakte uitgebreide grafieken van de resultaten van de Franse volkstelling van 1817. In een artikel uit 1821 gaf hij de leeftijdsopbouw van de mannelijke bevolking van Parijs weer in wat waarschijnlijk de eerste cumulatieve frequentiekromme is geweest (zie de figuur hiernaast). Hij legde onder meer uit hoe deze grafiek kon worden gebruikt om bijvoorbeeld af te lezen hoeveel mannen er waren tussen twee leeftijdsgrenzen. In 1828 publiceerde de Belgische wetenschapper Lambert Adolphe Jacques Quetelet Over Quetelet (1796-1874) heeft Ida Stamhuis onlangs een uitvoerig artikel in Euclides geschreven ( Stamhuis 1996a). Quetelet, van oorsprong wis- en sterrenkundige, begon zich te interesseren voor de statistiek, en dan vooral de sociale statistiek. Hij was betrokken bij de eerste grote volkstelling, die in 1830 plaatsvond in de toenmalige Nederlanden. Quetelet ontwikkelde het idee van de 'gemiddelde mens' en modelleerde menselijke eigenschappen (zowel lichamelijke als geestelijke) m.b.v. de normale verdeling, die hij kende uit de foutenanalyse in de sterrenkunde.

Extractions: Adolphe Quetelet received his first doctorate in 1819 from Ghent for a dissertation on the theory of conic sections . After receiving this doctorate he taught mathematics in Brussels, then, in 1823, he went to Paris to study astronomy at the Observatory there. He learnt astronomy from Arago and Bouvard and the theory of probability under Joseph Fourier and Pierre Laplace Influenced by Laplace and Fourier , Quetelet was the first to use the normal curve other than as an error law. His studies of the numerical consistency of crimes stimulated wide discussion of free will versus social determinism. For his government he collected and analysed statistics on crime, mortality etc. and devised improvements in census taking. His work produced great controversy among social scientists of the 19th century. At an observatory in Brussels that he established in 1833 at the request of the Belgian government, he worked on statistical, geophysical, and meteorological data, studied meteor showers and established methods for the comparison and evaluation of the data.
