Numbers that shape the world

Mediation

"The study of numbers has driven mathematics since antiquity. The constantly evolving field of arithmetic connects numbers and geometry, and is used in everyday applications, particularly in cryptography..."

CNRS News publishes "Numbers that shape the world", an article originally published in Carnets de science #10.

The following mathematicians participated in the drafting of the article:
