Counting Prime Numbers at Collège Stanislas

On February 12 and 19, 2025, Emmanuel Royer gave two one-hour presentations to the fourth and high school students of Collège Stanislas in Montreal (a French school abroad under AEFE). The purpose of the presentation was to make sense of counting prime numbers after demonstrating that there are infinitely many, and then to explore the distribution of prime numbers.

Professor at Université Clermont-Auvergne, Emmanuel Royer is hosted on a delegation for institutional functions by CNRS, to lead the CRM-CNRS.
