Why the world has square roots? How to tickle our curiosity and our scientific fiber with humor?

Publicity

Viviane Lalande does not hesitate to give of her person, on her Scilabus Youtube channel as in The world has square roots , to answer all possible and imaginable questions: Is it better to walk or run in the rain? Do we live in the womb? Why is nothing lost? How do the waves that connect us dear friends listen to? What does a dish of lasagna have to do with a square root? From the most eclectic notions, our guest seeks to show how science and math, in particular, speak to everyone and are much more useful in everyday life than we think.

With:

  • Viviane Lalande , doctoral student in mechanical engineering at Polytechnique Montréal, author of Le monde a des square square, at Éditions de l'Homme.
