Historische hoogtepunten van grafische verwerking Adolphe Quetelet
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.
Een van de eersten die in dit verband systematisch grafieken toepaste was J.L. d'Alembert
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.

22 Feb 1796 - 17 Feb 1874
Quetelet was born in Ghent, to a French father who had established himself there ten years earlier, and a Brabantine mother. The son successfully negotiated the upheavals which were being caused by the 1790 transition from the Austrian to the French Republican educational structures in the Austrian Netherlands, showing in the process a talent for the uses to which new institutions can be put. This skill was to serve him well in later life. In 1823 Brussels became again part of the southern Netherlands. Quetelet made contact with the Minister of Public Education, and interested him in the founding of an observatory in Brussels. Quetelet was sent to Paris to learn the requisite techniques. Among the things he learned, from contacts with Laplace, Fourier, and Poisson, was the central importance of probability theory in astronomy. Back in Brussels, Quetelet gave popular lectures at the Brussels Museum on probability as well as astronomy and physics; he added to his knowledge (and his collection of scientific instruments) by visiting other centers; he founded a journal. In 1826, being increasingly interested in the social aspect of his probability studies, he published a paper on the laws of births and mortality in Brussels, and subsequently advocated a complete population census, which was ordered by the government in 1828. In that year, Quetelet was appointed astronomer of the Brussels Observatory (which at that time was still 4 years short of completion).

BIOGRAPHY 4.2 Adolphe Quetelet
His subsequent active encouragement of the collection of empirical social data led to the first national census in Belgium and Holland (in 1829), the formation (in 1834) of the Statistical Society of London (now named the Royal Statistical Society), and the organization (in 1841) of the Belgian Central Statistical Commission, a central agency responsible for collecting statistics. As president of the latter, Quetelet did much to inspire the creation of statistical bureaus all over Europe and labored unstintingly to promote internationally uniform methods and terminology in data collection and presentation. Under his leadership, the first of a long series of International Statistical Congresses was held in Brussels in 1853.
Although there had been forerunners in England, France, and Germany, Quetelet earned the honor of being called the "father of modern statistics" by the publication of his in 1835. In this book, Quetelet noted how social phenomena (such as crime or suicides) reproduced themselves with amazing regularity. He argued that such regularities were discoverable only by statistical techniques and, even more important, could also be linked to causes with the help of such techniques. Unlike earlier writers who had given a theological interpretation to social regularities (seeing in them evidence of a divine presence), Quetelet pointed to social conditions as causes. He suggested that legislation could also ameliorate their effects (such as crime or suicides). As he put it:

Adolphe Quetelet, el primer estadístico moderno La historia de las ciencias sociales de finales de 1830 en adelante es, en gran medida, la historia de la aplicación y refinamiento de ideas acerca del manejo de la probabilidad en asuntos humanos. Estas ideas sobre probabilidad ganaron difusión en los círculos intelectuales y gubernamentales a través de los escritos de Quetelet.
Adolphe Quetelet (1796-1874) matemático belga y astrónomo , aplicó eL razonamiento estadístico a los fenómenos sociales lo que influyó profundamente en el curso de sociología europea En 1819 recibió su primer doctorado de Ghent, con una disertación en la teoría de secciones cónicas. En 1823, enseñó matemática en Bruselas, luego fue a París para estudiar astronomía . Estudió astronomía con Arago y Bouvard , la teoría de probabilidad con Joseph Fourier y Pierre Laplace.
En 1833, estableció un observatorio en Bruselas a pedido del gobierno belga, donde trabajó con datos estadísticos, geofísicos, y meteorológicos, estudió las lluvias de meteoros y estableció métodos para la comparación y evaluación de los datos.
Desde 1834 a 1877 sirvió como secretario perpetuo de la Real Academia belga
A principios de 1820, Quetelet comienza a trabajar para el gobierno de los Paises Bajos, para mejorar la forma de colectar e interpretar datos censales. Comienza a trabajar con datos sobre criminología, mortalidad y otros asuntos de la esfera sociológica.

Fichiers pédagogiques À propos de nous présentation générale nos partenaires nos missions vos contacts ... historique Historique de Lambert Adolphe Quetelet Dates importantes Né à Gand le 22 février 1796, décédé à Bruxelles le 17 février 1874, Lambert Adolphe Quetelet fut à la jeune nation belge ce que furent ses contemporains Laplace et Villermé à la France. Le titre de son œuvre majeure « La physique sociale » [1] situe exactement son inspiration scientifique. En 1974, Alfred Sauvy soulignait que Quetelet « offre un cas tout à fait étonnant de migration culturelle… Quel fut son domaine ? Nous répondons simplement : mathématiques, géodésie, astronomie, probabilités, météorologie, statistique, sociologie, anthropométrie, biométrie, démographie, criminologie, et j’en passe. Tous ces domaines qui l’ont vu s’exercer avec un égal bonheur, il les a tous enrichis, tout en s’enrichissant lui-même à chaque passage ». (Cité par A. Desrosières dans [2], p. 32). Quetelet vint étudier l'astronomie et la théorie des probabilités à l'Observatoire de Paris auprès de Laplace avant de créer l’Observatoire de Bruxelles en 1832. Docteur ès sciences de l'Université de Gand, professeur aux athénées royaux de Gand et Bruxelles, peintre et poète à ses heures, il fut secrétaire permanent de l’Académie des sciences, lettres et beaux arts.
