Discrete Stochastic Processes, Spring 2011
Discrete stochastic processes are essentially probabilistic systems that evolve in time via random changes occurring at discrete fixed or random intervals. This course aims to help students acquire both the mathematical principles and the intuition necessary to create, analyze, and understand insightful models for a broad range of these processes. The range of areas for which discrete stochastic-process models are useful is constantly expanding, and includes many applications in engineering, ph
20-Year Map of Global Rainfall
The distribution of rainfall on Earth follows clear patterns that can be traced to factors that influence cloud formation, such as the amount of solar heating, surface temperatures, topography, and proximity to moisture. In this visualization from NASA, observe the monthly distribution of global rainfall from January 1979 to January 2001, as illustrated by data gathered with a combination of remote-sensing and ground-based methods.

L'islamisme aujourd'hui - Hamit Bozarslan (video)
Au tournant des années 1999-2000, un certain nombre d’ouvrages sont parus qui annonçaient la fin de l’islamisme. En France, l’un des plus marquants est celui de Gilles Kepel : Jihad, expansion et déclin de l’islamisme (2000). La thèse de l’impasse, voire de l’échec de l’Islam politique, avancée d’abord par Olivier Roy au début des années 1990, semble trouver alors sa confirmation. En effet, on assiste à ce moment précis à un essoufflement de l’islamisme qu
