who would do such a thing to themselves and go look at math
> There is also a space dedicated to the great minds who have influenced mathematics throughout history, like Jean Perrin, who won the Nobel prize in physics in 1926 and whose desk is displayed at the museum.
I’m calling out from work today and headed to Paris immediately. I have to see this.
France has produced so many great mathematicians that French has more complicated nomenclatures for the numbers between 70 to 89.
That sounds, and I can’t stress this enough, like the most boring place on the planet.
L’addition, s’il vous plaît

There is already a cool math dedicated area in La Villette museum.
What’s great is that even tho this museum is extremly visited, with new exhibitions all the time, they clearly did not do a single change to this maths area since the nineties. Even if you do not care about maths it’s an interesting time capsule.
Do they also have English texts/ explanation 😊? Then I would def visit the next time I am in France 😁.
(I don’t have space in my life to learn French better than the high school France from ages ago, and I’m not often in France ^^)
