Revolution science and technology at the time of the Revolution

had barely completed the centenary celebrations of Independence, when the Mexican Revolution broke out, led by Francisco I. Madero, who started antirreleccionista movement against the regime of Porfirio Díaz. A highlight of the armed struggle was the passage of the 1917 Constitution, which captured the aspirations of Mexican society.

The armed struggle broke part of scientific activities that were no longer present in the country, although at different rates. Over the years, the political, economic and social environment gradually developing education and scientific research and technological nation.

During this period, the early development of science in the country, achieved during the Porfiriato, stopped almost completely, largely because the revolutionary governments closed some of the existing scientific institutions and changed by complete the structure of other, following a purely utilitarian scientific research.

Some of the most important during the revolutionary period in Mexico are:

1911 Francisco I. Madero was the first president of the world to fly an airplane, an experience that lasted about 10 minutes.

JH name was in honor of its builder, the engineer José de la Herran, father.

Sotero Prieto 1932 was an outstanding teacher who greatly influenced Guadalajara reform and the progress of mathematical research in Mexico and in the formation of the then new generations of engineers and students of exact sciences . Sotero Prieto is said that teaching mathematics with excellent accuracy and simple clarity. He was among the first to popularize the theories of relativity of Einstein. In 1932 he founded the Mathematics Section of the Scientific Society Antonio Alzate.

1939 Guadalajara engineer Guillermo González Camarena invented the system to transmit color television (Field Sequential Trichromatic System), which was patented in 1940 in Mexico and the United States. At first this system was only used for scientific, anatomy lessons were transmitted from the School of Medicine, IPN.

1944 Ignacio Chávez promoted the founding of the National Institute of Cardiology, the first of its kind in the world. This quality hospital is considered a major research laboratory and breeding ground for clinicians and researchers.
