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.
Progress born of industrial innovation
Mathematical expertise is at the heart of the demand from many industrial sectors. The amount of mathematics mobilized by certain fields, such as aerospace or 5G, is impressive. In image processing, they make it possible to manage compression, transmission, denoising or restoration of digital files. Entire areas of mathematics are being created to meet these needs. This is the case of information geometry, born from the desire to geometrize spaces of probability distributions. HPC (high-performance computing), which consists of using multiple units to perform very intensive calculations, is in full development, in particular thanks to the Total group, which was a pioneer in this field.
