Notes

To be able to communicate scientifical results and in particular mathematical results is a necessity. It's more than that, it's duty towards society. In this course we will explain why one should be able to communicate. We'll tell history of communication and why it has become really necessary to be able to do it. We'll create little projects. We will also speak about its importance in class and we'll go deeper on subjects regarding all the main aspects of mathematical teaching.
