The amazingly rapid development of the science of radioactivity is largely due to the brilliant work of M. Pierre Curie and his wife, Mme. Marie Sklodowska Curie. The former was born in Paris on May 15, 1859, and was educated by his cultured parents. Many happy hours were spent on excursions to the country, and thus this city child grew up in intimate contact with nature, collecting plants and animals and enjoying them in quiet contemplation. While serving as director of the laboratory under Paul Schiitzenberger at the School of Physics and Chem-...

Like every form and expression of appropriation, opinions differed among the members of the chemistry community as to the use of mathematics. The chemist Edward Frankland predicted that the future of chemistry was to lay in its alliance with mathematics. The chemist Paul Schiitzenberger believed that mathematics would become an instrument as useful to the chemist as the balance (Coulson 1974, 10). Van t Hoff could not have been more mathematical in his systematic study of chemical thermodynamics. Ostwald s extensive use of mathematics would have been much more influential had it not been undermined by his insistence on energetics. Lewis was not less skilled in mathematics. Even Joseph Larmor and Joseph John Thomson before him tried to propose a mathematical framework for dealing with chemical problems. But there was also strong resistance against such programs. 

That I write in some detail on Alsace is mainly because Daniel Auguste Rosenstiehl was bom in Strasbourg in 1839, and the early part of his career (1865-1877) was spent in Mulhouse. It was also as an Alsatian that the Paris municipal authorities appointed him, in 1905, to the chair of tinctorial chemistry which they had recently created at the CNAM. Likewise, back in 1882, they had placed Paul Schiitzenberger - also a native of Strasbourg and professor at the Mulhouse school of chemistry - in charge of the EPCI in Paris.
