Alice Guy a-t-elle existé ? Une conférence de Maurice Gianati
Une absence quasi-totale de documents de première main et contemporains sur la présence d'Alice Guy dans la société Léon Gaumont pour les années 1895-1906 a entrainé chez les historiens anciens et modernes qui se sont intéressés à cette pionnière du cinématographe une grande dispersion et confusion dans l'établissement de la chronologie de ses débuts et de sa filmographie.

Uniform convergence and pointwise convergence
The aim of this material is to introduce the student to two notions of convergence for sequences of real-valued functions. The notion of pointwise convergence is relatively straightforward, but the notion of uniform convergence is more subtle. Uniform convergence is explained in terms of closed function balls and the new notion of sets absorbing sequences.
The differences between the two types of convergence are illustrated with several examples. Some standard facts are also discussed: a unif
