The Maison Poincaré : start the visit ! (1/3)

In the Maison Poincaré: the public will be able to discover the multiple facets of mathematics on nearly 600 m², by following a self-guided tour or accompanied by mediators.

This pathway will be articulated around 7 action verbs:

CONNECT, BECOME, SHARE, INVENT, MODEL, VISUALIZE and BREATHE.

In 2020, we gave some general information about these devices: innovative and pedagogical, they were designed to highlight the richness of the worlds where mathematics flourishes.

 

In the CONNECT space, visitors will be able to explore mathematical questions using everyday objects (balloons, bicycle wheels, suitcases, etc.), moving from one mathematical field to another by means of a "metro math" map resembling a subway map!

In a future article, we will take you to the INVENT and BECOME spaces to tell you about the mathematicians who will be honored there. Stay tuned!

 

Throughout 2021, we will keep you updated on the progress of the design of the features and the layout of the spaces.
To make this project a success, we need your support! Our fundraising goal is more than 100 000 €! This will not happen without you!

The Endowment Fund in a few words...

It has the capacity to receive funds exclusively from the private sector from individuals or legal entities whose passions are in line with those of the Institut Henri Poincaré.

 

The Fund's Board of Directors was chaired by Cédric Villani from its inception until March 7, 2019, when Sylvie Benzoni took over as interim Chair. Vincent Lefieux, representing the Cercle des entreprises partenaires de l'IHP on the Board of Directors, was elected President on May 29, 2019.
Through the Endowment Fund, companies and individuals can support the projects carried out by IHP by making financial, in-kind or skill-based contributions.

Eligible for corporate or income tax reductions, these contributions complement state and local funding of IHP projects.

 

The founding organizations of the Fund : CNRS, Sorbonne University (formerly UPMC), and three learned societies in mathematics - the Société Mathématique de France (SMF), the SMAI (Société des Mathématiques Appliquées et Industrielles), the SFdS (Société Française de Statistiques).
