Courses / Cours
Research
and university teaching cannot be separated. A scientist's
career is therefore inevitably intertwining lectures and courses,
over the years. A few excerpts of courses and lectures that
were given in a thirty years period are presented here. The
first formal account of the creation of the course in Biology,
at the Ecole Polytechnique in the mid-1970's, with Maurice
Guéron, was
summarized in a first book in French: Ordre et Dynamique du Vivant

La
recherche et l'enseignement supérieur ne peuvent être
séparés. La carrière d'un chercheur est donc
toujours jalonnée de périodes d'enseignement, brèves
ou plus longues. Quelques extraits de cours et de conférences
dispensées au cours du temps sont présentées
ici. Le premier compte-rendu détaillé de la création
du cours de Biologie à l'Ecole Polytechnique avec Maurice
Guéron, au milieu des années 1970, a donné
lieu à un premier livre (en français)
