Vénissieux (Rhône). Angle boulevard Ambroise Croizat/rue Paul Bert.

Ambroise Paré (1510-1590).

study medicine in 1536 and supported himself by lecturing on mathematics, geography and astronomy. In Paris, his teachers included Sylvius and Andermach, who hailed him with Andrea Vesalius as his most able assistant in dissections There he stepped over the line that Christian doctrine had drown between acceptable areas of astrology, and forbidden zone of judicial astrology (left for God-essent...

In this paper, we show how to split the writhe of reduced projections of oriented alternating links into two parts, called nullification writhe, or wx, and remaining writhe, or wy, such that the sum of these quantities equals the writhe w, and each quantity remains an invariant of isotopy. The chirality of oriented alternating links can be detected by a non-zero wx or wy, which constitutes an i...

A walk on sunset boulevard

A walk on sunset boulevard can teach us about transcendental functions associated to Feynman diagrams. On this guided tour we will see multiple polylogarithms, differential equations and elliptic curves. A highlight of the tour will be the generalisation of the polylogarithms to the elliptic setting and the all-order solution for the sunset integral in the equal mass case.

Constructing a qualitative model of some device usually proceeds as a cycle of model formulation and model debugging . The latter is driven by discrepancies between the behaviour predicted by the model and the actual device behaviour. This paper describes how the elimination of one type of discrepancy, incorrectly predicted derivatives, can be supported . It provides an analysis of the knowledg...
