Maths beyond equations
You may be one of the many students for whom maths has been an ordeal, an uphill struggle. Yet, on closer inspection, a mysterious beauty sometimes emerges from equations and geometric shapes...
... when mathematics in itself is not a work of art - and besides, is art not infused with ingenious calculations of proportions and perspectives? Maths is everywhere, it can be found in almost every discipline, obviously in physics, but also in resource optimisation, environmental protection and even philosophy. It must also be emphasised that France has nothing to be ashamed of in terms of its achievements, since it has a number of brilliant researchers in mathematics, whose profiles can be seen here.
On World Mathematics Day, immerse yourself in this fascinating world, through the most interesting applications and characters.
