Meet Nicolas Bourbaki!

For Chapter 4 of the crowdfunding campaign maison Poincaré, the maths otherwise, we take you to meet a secret society of mathematicians Nicolas Bourbaki whose objective was/is to refound the teaching of mathematics.

 

The famous "portable" painting by Nicolas Bourbaki will be exhibited in the "Share" space of the Maison Poincaré, and a replica will be installed in the garden of the museum space, inviting visitors and mathematicians to do maths outdoors!

 

This painting is perfectly integrated into the decor of the IHP library: between the famous mathematical models and exhibition Jean Perrin, a work, a legacy presented until spring 2021.

 

The sheet below allows you to learn more about this collective adventure that has marked the recent history of mathematics.

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).
