Lambert et la loi de survie

J.H. Lambert (1728-1777) is renowned for his works in pure and applied mathematics. But very little is known about the “mathematical models” he worked out for demographic data. Here we present a panorama of his mathe-matical theory of the so-named “population pyramid” in a stationary population. Mor...

Crynodeb:J.H. Lambert (1728-1777) is renowned for his works in pure and applied mathematics. But very little is known about the “mathematical models” he worked out for demographic data. Here we present a panorama of his mathe-matical theory of the so-named “population pyramid” in a stationary population. Moreover, we suggest one explanation for the genesis of his main population model.
