Mathscope

Mathscope is an out-of-school learning place at the University of Geneva, offering activities about mathematics and its applications.

Naissance d'une méthode numérique (FR)
		(19th Colloque Wright 2-6 Nov2020) Mathscope’s new video “Can sound be seen? From a physical problem to a numerical method” (FR) tells us a story generated by the fascination of mathematicians for a physical discovery. In 1787, Ernst Chladni, a German musician and physicist, discovered that, when he rubbed the bow of his violin on a metal plate covered with sand, each different pitch that he managed to obtain revealed a new pattern. These are called the Chladni figures. Attempting to reproduce these figures numerically, mathematicians have built a powerful numerical method used today to model complex situations.

La Moulinette (FR)
		La Moulinette is a tool that allows for in-depth questioning of a scientific mediation project. In the form of thematic sheets it invites you to reflect and position yourself using graphs on the real goals of the project. The themes are defined by questions: from why? or for whom? to how much? or, what is the risks? Read more about La Moulinette
