Yvette Amice
Yvette Amice (June 4, 1936 – July 4, 1993) was a French mathematician whose research concerned number theory and -adic analysis.. She was president of the Société mathématique de France. Education Amice studied mathematics at the École normale supérieure de jeunes filles in Sèvres, beginnining in 1956 and earning her agrégation in 1959. She became an assistant at the Faculté des sciences de Paris until 1964, when she completed a state doctorate under the supervision of Charles Pisot. Her dissertation was ''Interpolation p-adique'' 'p-adic interpolation'' Career On completing her doctorate, she became maître de conférences at the University of Poitiers and then, in 1966, professor at the University of Bordeaux. She returned to Poitiers in 1968 but then in 1970 became one of the founding professors of Paris Diderot University, where she was vice president from 1978 to 1981. In 1975 she became president of the Société mathématique de France Lactalis is a French ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Number Theory
Number theory (or arithmetic or higher arithmetic in older usage) is a branch of pure mathematics devoted primarily to the study of the integers and arithmetic function, integer-valued functions. German mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss (1777–1855) said, "Mathematics is the queen of the sciences—and number theory is the queen of mathematics."German original: "Die Mathematik ist die Königin der Wissenschaften, und die Arithmetik ist die Königin der Mathematik." Number theorists study prime numbers as well as the properties of mathematical objects made out of integers (for example, rational numbers) or defined as generalizations of the integers (for example, algebraic integers). Integers can be considered either in themselves or as solutions to equations (Diophantine geometry). Questions in number theory are often best understood through the study of Complex analysis, analytical objects (for example, the Riemann zeta function) that encode properties of the integers, primes ...

Paris Diderot University
Paris Diderot University, also known as Paris 7 (french: Université Paris Diderot), was a French university located in Paris, France. It was one of the inheritors of the historic University of Paris, which was split into 13 universities in 1970. Paris Diderot merged with Paris Descartes University in 2019 to form Paris Cité University. With two Nobel Prize laureates, two Fields Medal winners and two former French Ministers of Education among its faculty or former faculty, the university was famous for its teaching in science, especially in mathematics. Many fundamental results of the theory of probability were discovered at one of its research centres, the ''Laboratoire de Probabilités et Modèles Aléatoires'' (Laboratory of Probability and Random Models). History Paris Diderot University was one of the heirs of the old University of Paris, which ceased to exist in 1970. Professors from the faculties of Science, of Medicine and of Humanities chose then to create a new mu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

P-adic Number
In mathematics, the -adic number system for any prime number extends the ordinary arithmetic of the rational numbers in a different way from the extension of the rational number system to the real and complex number systems. The extension is achieved by an alternative interpretation of the concept of "closeness" or absolute value. In particular, two -adic numbers are considered to be close when their difference is divisible by a high power of : the higher the power, the closer they are. This property enables -adic numbers to encode congruence information in a way that turns out to have powerful applications in number theory – including, for example, in the famous proof of Fermat's Last Theorem by Andrew Wiles. These numbers were first described by Kurt Hensel in 1897, though, with hindsight, some of Ernst Kummer's earlier work can be interpreted as implicitly using -adic numbers.Translator's introductionpage 35 "Indeed, with hindsight it becomes apparent that a d ...

University Of Bordeaux
The University of Bordeaux (French: ''Université de Bordeaux'') is a public university based in Nouvelle-Aquitaine in southwestern France. It has several campuses in the cities and towns of Bordeaux, Dax, Gradignan, Périgueux, Pessac, and Talence. There are also several smaller teaching sites in various other towns in the region, including in Bayonne. The University of Bordeaux counts more than 50,000 students, over 6,000 of which are international. It is a member of the ComUE d'Aquitaine university group. History Original formation In 286, a university had been created by the Romans. At this time, the city was an important administrative centre and the school had to train administrators. Only rhetoric and grammar were taught (including the study of classical texts). Modern university The original ''Université de Bordeaux'' was established by Pope Eugene IV on 7 June 1441 when Bordeaux was an English town. In 1793, during the French Revolution, the National Conven ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
P-adic Analysis
In mathematics, ''p''-adic analysis is a branch of number theory that deals with the mathematical analysis of functions of ''p''-adic numbers. The theory of complex-valued numerical functions on the ''p''-adic numbers is part of the theory of locally compact groups. The usual meaning taken for ''p''-adic analysis is the theory of ''p''-adic-valued functions on spaces of interest. Applications of ''p''-adic analysis have mainly been in number theory, where it has a significant role in diophantine geometry and diophantine approximation. Some applications have required the development of ''p''-adic functional analysis and spectral theory. In many ways ''p''-adic analysis is less subtle than classical analysis, since the ultrametric inequality means, for example, that convergence of infinite series of ''p''-adic numbers is much simpler. Topological vector spaces over ''p''-adic fields show distinctive features; for example aspects relating to convexity and the Hahn–Banach theorem a ...
