Ce module concerne la cartographie et la géométrie de la sphère. Les propriétés géométriques de la sphère et du plan sont fondamentalement différentes, et aucune carte plane ne peut représenter la Terre sans la déformer. Dans ce module, plusieurs propriétés géométriques sont présentées. On comparera différentes projections cartographiques. On essaiera de comprendre le sens de ces déformations et pourquoi il est impossible d’obtenir une carte parfaite.
How can waiting times in the hospital be avoided to prevent criticism from patients?
Ce module interactif montre, dans un contexte historique, les loxodromies sur la Terre et les spirales qui correspondent à une famille remarquable de leurs projections dans le plan.
To predict floods using three dimensional solutions of the Navier‐Stokes equations is completely impractical because of computation time and the large numbers of parameters that would need to be specified for such a model. The models which are actually used to predict flooding are so simplified that the parameters do not necessarily match a physical value. Parameter values must be calibrated by assessing the ability of the model to predict past events for which we have data.

A double pendulum is a combination of two penduli that create a chaotic behaviour. This exhibit is a real physical double pendulum built and planned by a metal constructor with the idea to be safe for exhibitions and to be as fluid and surprising as possible in its movements.
