#GENIUS : PROMENADES MATHÉMATIQUES

PRESENTATION:
Mathematics is all around us, in everyday life.
We approached this course by highlighting all the occasions that present mathematics in everyone's daily lives:
Watching a tennis match and predicting the winner,
Studying the evolution of populations using different methods, and thus taking on the role of a demographer,
Understand an enigmatic and fascinating object: the Rubik's Cube,
Observe the world and natural phenomena through the lens of fractals,
Practicing cutting a cake into strictly equal parts.

This course has been designed by engineering school students. They are the best ones to present you these subjects, to explore them under a playful angle.
#Genius gives you access to resources beyond your academic level.

And if you're a little "off" with science, #Genius gives you the opportunity to reconcile with math, moving at your own pace.

FORMAT:

#Genius is organized into independent modules, you self-regulate your learning!
During the year 2021 after the initial publication in July, 9 additional modules will be added.
The videos will be complemented by off-platform activities, exercises, problems: get a pen and paper ready, you'll be doing math!
In some modules, you will be offered to do coding activities in Python directly on FUN-MOOC thanks to Notebook Jupyter, you will be guided step by step.

AT THE END OF THIS COURSE, YOU WILL BE ABLE TO:

Develop a mathematical mindset:
Experiment and grope in math, model, understand the importance of formalization and rigor in math, formalize an intuitive idea

Around mathematical concepts:
Discover deep mathematical theories in a playful way, discover interactions between mathematics and other sciences, become aware of the historical process that led to mathematics as we know it today

Around problems:
Analyze a problem, think about an unusual problem

Around Computers:
Use computers, understand the limits of the computer tool
