About the seminar

Le séminaire d’histoire et de philosophie des mathématiques est le point de rencontre des différents axes de l’Unité travaillant autour des mathématiques. Il entend favoriser le dialogue entre philosophes et historiens en prenant soin de toujours revenir aux sources textuelles - les orateurs sont vivement encouragés à fournir les documents permettant aux participants d’y accéder.
