Abstract

Since its existence, the computer tool has often supported mathematicians, whether it is to implement an approximation method (numerical calculation of a root, of an integral, ...) or to simulate a phenomenon (geometric in nature, probabilistic, ...) to verify or establish a conjecture. But, and this is another point on which we will concentrate our attention here, computing will also have served the cause of mathematics by inspiring certain reasoning or by taking charge of whole sections of a demonstration. We will illustrate this fruitful partnership with two example saccessible from high school.
