February and March 2013 - Fondation Claude-Antoine Peccot (Mathematical sciences)

Introducing the Foundation

Several successive donations (in 1886, 1894, 1897, 1902) enabled the creation of scholarships, which were later transformed into prizes; then, from 1900 onwards, a lectureship for mathematicians under the age of thirty who had distinguished themselves in theoretical or applied mathematics.
