This essay was written for the second-year course in history of mathematics supervised by Sara Confalonieri. It deals with two proofs given by Leonardo Fibonacci for the root of a second-order polynomial and compares it with the proof given by Al-Khwārizmī for the same equation some centuries before. My objective through this work was especially to think about the idea of "trans-configurational approach" developped by Marco Panza (and to learn to read Arabic texts)

This essay was written for he second year course in science and philosophy around the Mediterranean Sea, organised by Crstina Cerami and Aurelien Robert, which mainly dealt with the notions of atomism and continuity. My goal was to articulate these two notions around the conception of astronomical motions as a composition of spherical motions, especially in Greek astronomy.

This essay was written as part of the first year course in philosophy of mathematics supervised by Brice Halimi, centered around the notion of generality at the crossing point between philosophy and mathematics. For this paper, I explored Gottfried Leibniz's "mathesis universalis" project to discussed the way in which the philosopher deals with the question of generality, and how he deploys the construction of "generality" through his project.

This essay is focused on the 5th definition of Euclid's Elements book V, from the Greek edition given by Johan Heiberg. It was written for the first-year course of introduction in the history of mathematics lead by Sara Confalonieri.

As part of the first-year physics class lead by Étienne Parizot, I wrote about the development of the "Lagrangian equations" in Joseph-Louis Lagrange's 1788 treaty and in his correspondance.

During the class on sociology of science, we conducted a study on the effects of Dépakine on pregnant women. We focused on the use of statistics by doctors, pharmacists, and professionals from pharmacovigilance agencies, in producing knowledge on the drug's side effects. We conducted multiple semi-structured interviews which allowed us to identify many issues relative to inter-professionalism that influenced the actor's practices.
