Other activities

1990: programming of the Mandelbrot set in machine language (via the BASIC language)

 1990-1991: I wrote (for myself) a formulation of electromagnetism from a relativistic point of view, in my way starting from some hints found in books. Little afterwards I did the same kind of thing with Einstein's equation of general relativity theory. Then I had some ideas of spinors and had a correspondance with Thibaut Damour.

 1992: 2nd price with the contest Kangaroo of Mathematics

 1993: 1st price with the contest Kangaroo of Mathematics

 1994: I started to write teaching texts of math in French presenting my understanding of a number of notions aside my studies (starting with special relativity, a bit of general relativity (cosmological models), non-euclidean geometries, continuing with some geometry, you can find them on my site http://sylvainpoirier.fr/sommaire in the pages of Relativity and Geometry).

1995: Special mention (instead of the price) at the Fermat Junior Price of mathematics, for a new method of resolution of the 3rd degree equations

 1997-98: 18 hours of teaching (math exercises) at the undergraduate level

 1998-99: 44 hours

 1998: Participation in the summer camp of mathematics for the youngs organised by the FFJM association.
1999: 2nd participation, where I presented the notions of spherical geometry and perspective, and let pupils do a little research.

In recent years : writing of texts of introduction to the foundations of maths (first in French; English version coming soon at http://settheory.net), physics (quantum physics, the nature of entropy), and other subjects.
