The study is an impressive recording of most famous names of scholars having represented the exact sciences, in the Aachen-Liège-Maastricht region, along 1200 years -- which is quite impossible to review in only one poor page! Starting with the glorious epoch of Charlemagne (key-words: Carolingian restauration, schola palatina, septem artes liberales, etc.), the ambitious and most organized author surveys the long period of continuous flourishing of the so-called ``quadrivium'', by having it divided as follows: 794-830 (Aachen), Transition, the 11th century (when Liège came to be considered as ``Athens of the North''), the 1150-1540 years -- in the spring of Renaissance, then the incredible 1540-1700 epoch and, passing through the ``quiet'' 18th century, to reach the ``Golden Age'' of the mathematics of those places (Hattendorf, Ritter, Stahl, Mangoldt). Special mention for the rich bibliographical list accompanying the text. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0942.00019].
