| Abstract | Resulting from of a communal practice, scientific development is to some extent shaped by the particular conceptions of the problems, aims and methods of a field that are shared by the members of the scientific community concerned. Regrouping of scientists and the formation of a new community of practitioners reflect differentiation of the said conceptions of methods, aims and problems. In this connection, educational reform may be a key factor in the formation and consolidation of a new socio-cognitive constellation that may decisively affect the development of a discipline.A case in point is provided by the French Revolution, when radically changed social conditions gave birth to a new community of mathematical practitioners – ingénieurs savants – who shared a common education at the newly founded Ecole Polytechnique. This entirely new type of scientific institute was created in 1794 by the revolutionary Comité de Salut Public, on the instigation of its prominent member Lazare Carnot and a lobby of scientists led by Gaspard Monge, who was largely responsible for the teaching programme of the School.I intend to show how Carnot's and Monge's mathematical endeavours responded to social, political and technological developments in French society, how these concernswere reflected in the educational reforms that they carried through, and how absolutelyessential the new educational arrangements were for the reception and transmission of the conceptual changes involved. As a whole, this is a historical case study about education as a mediator between social and intellectual innovation. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
