Abstract

When he returned to France in the autumn of 1838 after an exile that had lasted eight years, Cauchy was firmly resolved to participate fully in contemporary scientific life. His refusal to take the oath of allegiance in 1830 had meant the loss of his professorial chairs. But, he still had his position at the Académie des Sciences, because it had not been required that he swear to the July Monarchy in order to keep his seat there. But, in spite of the many advantages that came with membership in the Académie—aside from attendance at the meetings and the rapid publications of notes and studies in the Comptes Rendus Hebdomadaires des Séances— Cauchy could not be content with a single position in the scholarly world.
