After being responsible for six years for the program of doctoral studies in applied mathematics, he headed the Laboratory of Numerical Analysis from 1988 to 1993.

He also takes an active interest in issues of mathematics education and popularization of science. He has been chairman of the Department of Mathematics from 2003 to 2007.

Annonce de parution de livres

Les deux opuscules dont les contenus sont risumis ci-dessous, en format 14,5-19cm, + ligers en poids et en prix ;, sont en vente dans les librairies. Les fichiers pdf joints en sont des publicitis, avec avant-propos et tables des matihres.

Opuscule N0 8. Les mathimatiques du mieux faire. Volume 1 : Premiers pas en optimisation.

L'usage frangais du verbe optimiser nous est arrivi vers le milieu du XIX-hme sihcle d'Angleterre, oy /+ to optimize/ ; signifiait /+ se comporter en optimiste ;/ ; on peut donc dire que l'optimiseur est comme l'optimiste qui pense /pouvoir toujours mieux faire./ Mais ce n'est que dans la deuxihme moitii du XX-hme sihcle que les mathimaticiens, motivis par les demandes issues des applications, ont iti conduits ` poser les fondations modernes des /+ mathimatiques du mieux faire ;/, matihre principale de ces deux Opuscules (n0 8 et 9) sur l'optimisation et la commande optimale. Ces /+ Premiers pas en optimisation ;/ sont destinis ` un large public, dans un souci de popularisation des bases mathimatiques de l'optimisation vers des domaines utilisateurs partiels, intiressis, ou potentiels : automatique, iconomie mathimatique, analyse numirique, statistique, etc. Dans notre prisentation, l'accent a iti mis sur les /idies/ davantage que sur les techniques ou giniralisations que le lecteur plus intiressi aura tout loisir de divelopper.

Opuscule N0 9. Les mathimatiques du mieux faire. Volume 2 : la commande optimale pour les dibutants.

Commander un systhme physique, micanique, iconomique, ivoluant avec le temps, de manihre ` lui faire faire quelque chose de manihre optimale (selon divers crithres choisis), voila un objectif qui apparant dans bien des domaines d'applications des sciences de l'inginieur. Ce n'est que dans la deuxihme moitii du XX-hme sihcle que les inginieurs, automaticiens et mathimaticiens, motivis par les demandes issues des applications, ont iti conduits ` poser les fondations modernes de ce volet des /+ mathimatiques du mieux faire ;/ : la thiorie de la commande optimale. Cet opuscule /+ La commande optimale pour les dibutants ; ;/ est destini ` un large public, dans un souci de popularisation des bases mathimatiques de la commande optimale vers des domaines utilisateurs partiels, intiressis, ou potentiels : l'automatique, le spatial, l'iconomie, la robotique, etc. Notre prisentation se borne ` une /initiation/, l'accent est mis sur les /idies/ de base ; beaucoup /d'exemples d'illustration/ accompagnent les risultats fondamentaux.
