A professional world open to mathematics
The activity of a company is immersed in an environment that evolves regularly. It increasingly requires detailed studies around its technical or commercial operations as well as forecasts on the future of each of its activities. Mathematics is today called upon to better understand the nature of uncertainties that it is essential to take into account to anticipate the future. Everyone knew that finance, economics or computer science needed a wide range of high-performance mathematical tools, regularly expanded. Less well known is that many other sectors such as energy or even video games are demanding them.

Anticipating change
A company operates in an uncertain environment. A range of mathematical tools can help us better understand the uncertainties that must be taken into account when anticipating the future. After all, to govern is to foresee!
The new mathematical tools used by insurance companies
Mathematical tools are constantly evolving in the insurance industry. Until recently, they were used mainly in technical departments, where actuaries play a central role. Today, they are driving the development of new professions.
Matrices and graphs in accounting
Accountants are not known for using sophisticated mathematical tools. Yet modern techniques enable them to handle many situations arising in what is known as "complex accounting".
Blockchain in all its mathematical forms | Tangente
Blockchain technology is among the technologies to watch in the years ahead, as it could revolutionize several sectors of the economy. It draws on recent mathematical developments through increasingly sophisticated processes.
Randomness in video games
ChickenPods is a free-to-play video game (F2P to those in the know) developed in 2019 at the startup Mathilde. Randomness plays an important role in generating environments and determining how the chickens move. That is where mathematics comes in...
Modélisation des écoulements d'air autour des éoliennes : équations de Navier-Stokes et simulations numériques
The energy sector needs advanced mathematical expertise. In wind energy, modeling airflow means grappling with the formidable Navier–Stokes equations. Numerical simulation draws on a variety of discretization techniques.
