The new Shepherd’s lamp. Video. (English) Zbl 0958.01050

Berlin: Springer. Video (VHS/PAL 30 min.) (2000).
Jean-Pierre Bourguignon and François Tisseyre are discussing the development of mathematical astronomy. They are speaking French, a spoken English translation is superimposed: this is a bit disturbing for the user of the video, because both versions can be heard. The speakers briefly deal with Ptolemy, Copernicus, Tycho de Brahe, Galileo, Newton, Lagrange, Poincaré.
