DEF

A two-dimensional map used for the description of Hamiltonian nonlinear systems. The distortion engendered by this transformation is reminiscent of a maladjusted out-of-sync television set. The map is expanding in one direction and contracting in the orthogonal direction.

CONT

Dr. Arnold’s math explanations also exhibited playfulness. In one of his books, he explained a simple algorithm that stretches and rearranges an image, shredding it into a chaotic mess. In the book, Dr. Arnold illustrated the idea with a sketch of a cat’s head that is now known as Arnold’s Cat Map.

OBS

A word about spelling : we use "Arnold", as opposed to "Arnol' d"; the latter is closer to the Russian pronunciation, but Vladimir Arnold preferred the former(it is used in numerous translations of his books into English)...

OBS

La Révolution russe est l'ensemble des événements en 1917 ayant conduit au renversement spontané du régime tsariste en Russie en février, puis en octobre à l'installation préparée d'un régime léniniste. Largement produite par la Grande Guerre, la Révolution russe est un événement fondateur et décisif du «court XXe siècle» ouvert par l'éclatement du conflit européen en 1914 et clos en 1991 par la disparition de l'URSS. Objet de sympathie et d'immenses espoirs pour les uns (la «grande lueur à l'Est» de Jules Romains, le «charme universel d'octobre» décrit par François Furet), objet de sévères critiques, voire de peurs et de haines viscérales pour les autres, elle reste un des faits les plus étudiés et le plus passionnément discutés de l'histoire contemporaine.
