Abstract

The public image of mathematics is not of the best. The work of mathematicians and to a certain extent the work of computer scientists is not considered as an important contribution to our civilisation. Even in countries like France where mathematics enjoyed a higher reputation than elsewhere, things have changed. Mathematicians are dismayed to find “public” doors closed and there are increasing problems in obtaining financial supports for their research projects.
