6th Rencontres mathématiques Valenciennoises
The 6th Rencontres mathématiques Valenciennoises will take place on Thursday, March 20 from 2:30 to 4:45 pm on the Mont Houy campus.
These are organized as part of the Week of Mathematics, which aims to show a current, lively and attractive image of mathematics.

Program
- Stabilizing in finite dimension: a difficult balance by Emmanuelle Crépeau, Professor at CERAMATHS
In many dynamic systems, whether mechanical, electrical or even biological, controlling or stabilizing is a major issue. Control aims to influence the evolution of a system to achieve a desired objective, while stabilization ensures that a system returns to a state of equilibrium. In this talk, both concepts will be addressed for systems of differential equations, with tools coming from both analysis and algebra. - Stay calm "and be normal" (a statistician's advice) by Andrés López-Lopera, Senior Lecturer at CERAMATHS
The normal law is essential in statistics, as it describes many natural phenomena and has beautiful theoretical properties. It can be used to analyze data and make predictions, playing a key role in science and engineering. Its beauty is even more apparent when viewed from an infinite-dimensional perspective! But what happens then? - Star Graph Academy: discover differential equations on networks! by Damien Galant, Researcher at FNRS
In this talk, we'll introduce what metric graphs (or networks) are, as well as a model of differential equations on them, the nonlinear Schrödinger equation.
In particular, we'll discover that star graphs hold a few surprises. - Mathematics and video games: what relationship today? by Thierry Bay, Senior Lecturer at CERAMATHS
Game design is vast and highly demanding, in terms of both technical skills and human resources. So why "waste time" (© students) by integrating mathematics? There's only one purpose to integrating mathematics into today's game engines: to move towards ever more realistic immersion. In this playful exchange, we'll be introducing two concepts explicitly linked to geometry: gimbal blocking and trajectory calculation.
Practical information
This event is intended for students in the mathematics bachelor's degree and CaSSAD Master's program at INSA Hauts-de-France/UPHF, pupils and students in preparatory classes at the Lycée Wallon and partner high schools, and their teaching teams.
