The book critically examines France's substantial contributions to the mathematical theory of nonlinear oscillations, particularly during the twentieth century and the interwar period. It highlights the collaborative efforts of French mathematicians, physicists, and engineers, emphasizing France's role as a hub for scientific communication. A pivotal discovery is Henri Poincaré's 1908 text, which applies the concept of limit cycles to radio engineering, challenging previous historiography that credited Russian mathematician Andronov. This work underscores the interplay between science and technology in developing mathematical theories.
