ABOUT ME

I'm a 51 yo mathematics teacher at the University of Burgundy in Dijon (School of Education); I have 3 children (aged 25, 22 and 16) though I'm divorced.
My major professional interests are History of Mathematics (I'm currently working on a PhD about 17th century fortification)and teacher training.
I love art, esp. music, friendship, and what we call 'culture' in France

Interests

'Information is not knowledge' (Einstein)... 'Music is the best' (Zappa)
I love listening to music, as well as playing music (guitar and flute, plus singing when noone is around).
I love Literature, theater, fine arts, conversation with people (friends or unknown) and sometimes beer or wine too! in a word, what is essential in life.
