Popularisation and dissemination of Mathematics
The dissemination of mathematical culture is one of the missions of researchers and academics.
The network for the dissemination of mathematics Autour de la Diffusion des Maths (AuDiMath - GDS 3745) gathers anyone involved in the dissemination of mathematics towards society and among young people, especially in primary and secondary school.
The website Images des Mathématiques (IdM) offers the general public an overview on mathematical research. This on-line journal proposes articles written by mathematicians; however, none of them is written for mathematicians, but for any reader interested in mathematics.
