So here are some comments (mostly absolutely minor typos, and I
apologise in advance for the lack of diacritical marks).  By the way,
it feels wrong to comment in English on a French text, but anyway:

p4: "comportement" should be "comportements"
p6: "developpement specifiques" should be both plural or both singular
p7: "modele economiques" should be both plural or both singular
p12, last line: somehow "outils de developpement cooperatif" sounds
better to me than "outils de developpements cooperatifs"
p19: I'm really not sure of this, but if one writes "boggue" then one
should write "deboggueur" instead of "debogueur" -- this assumes a
certain internal consistency and logic I always felt the French language
had and the English language lacked, so I could be off-base
p24: "systemes [...] de plus en plus cher*s*"

I really like page 26 :).

One last remark: on page 16, you list Macaulay for commutative
algebra/algebraic geometry.  I would write Macaulay2 instead.  If you're
not convinced, the following excerpt comes directly from the Macaulay
web page:

  "Wait!
  It's 2003. That 70's haircut really has to go. While you're at it, are
  you sure you want this program? It warms our hearts every time we hear
  of a diehard Macaulay enthusiast, but even Dave has switched to
  Macaulay 2."


Best,
Alex
