: France
Eligibility: -The candidate should hold a master degree in computer science.
-Skills in logic, automated and/or interactive theorem proving is desirable asset.
-Good working knowledge of the English language is necessary, but French is not a requisite.
Scholarship Open for Students of Following Countries: The students of France can apply for this scholarship.
Scholarship Description: In the proposal, they aim at developing a computer based learning environment for interactive proof in geometry based on technologies for interactive and automated theorem proving and dynamic geometry. Technological tools are widely used to teach mathematics in schools. Dynamic Geometry Software (D.G.S.) and Computer Algebra Software (C.A.S) are the two families of software that are well represented. On the one hand, these tools are widely used to explore, experiment, visualize, calculate, measure, find counter examples, conjecture.
