An intern was funded for two months by the national Inria fund toward science popularization on this topic. These activities were demonstrated several times this year by Thomas Jost, Marion Guthmuller, Sébastien Badia and Martin Quinson to during popularization events welcoming the public within our laboratory. They were also shown during the national APMEP days, a nation-wide gathering of maths teachers at the secondary level.
