Marie Lhuissier
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lhuissier earned a Ph.D. at the École normale supérieure de Lyon in 2018, with the dissertation Le problème mathématique des trois corps, abordé simultanément sous l'angle de la recherche théorique et celui de la diffusion auprès de publics variés concerning both the theory and public dissemination of research on the three-body problem in celestial mechanics, jointly directed by Étienne Ghys and Christian Mercat.[4]
After completing her doctorate, she decided to devote herself to popularizing mathematics through telling stories to children.[5] Her philosophy is that by identifying with the subjects of her stories, who are forced to use mathematics creatively to solve their problems, children can come to learn of mathematics as a dynamic and creative subject, rather than one that is static and abstract.[2]
