Chér·e·s Group Elements 🌌 [See English below] Je vous propose une après-midi mathématique à l’Institut Henri Poincaré, autour des surfaces, de la géométrie et de l’abstraction. Nous commencerons par une visite guidée de l’exposition Sous la surface, les maths, puis nous poursuivrons avec une seconde exposition gratuite dans le même lieu, consacrée à Alexandre Grothendieck, l’un des mathématiciens les plus influents du XXᵉ siècle. Deux expositions, un même espace, un même voyage — des surfaces visibles aux mondes mathématiques abstraits. 🌌 Après les visites, pour celles et ceux qui le souhaitent, nous pourrons continuer la discussion autour d’un café ou d’un verre à proximité — pour *échanger librement sur ce qui nous a marqué, poser des questions, ou simplement prolonger le moment.* Voici la page de l’exposition :https://www.ihp.fr/fr/actualites-science-et-societe/sous-la-surface-les-maths **Tarif normal : 17 euros** **Billetterie** :https://billetterie-maison-poincare.ihp.fr/animations-maison-poincare/maison-poincare-animations-visites-guidees/visite-guidee-sous-la-surface-les-maths Dossier de présentation :https://www.ihp.fr/sites/default/files/media/downloads/Dossier_presentation_Surface.pdf "*Comment représenter en 2D un objet en 3D ? Comment créer des personnages et décors de jeux vidéo convaincants ? Quel est le lien entre la couture, la géographie et l’infographisme ? Grâce à l’exposition Sous la surface, les maths, découvrez les principes mathématiques cachés derrière ces questions.À travers des jeux, des vidéos explicatives, des objets de mesure, mais aussi des modèles mathématiques issus des collections de l’Institut Henri Poincaré, vous deviendrez incollables sur la création de surfaces numériques.La première partie de l’exposition s’intéresse à la représentation des objets en 3D sur un plan en 2D — un problème déjà exploré par les peintres de la Renaissance. Le voyage se poursuit ensuite à la surface de la Terre : comment passe-t-on du globe au planisphère ? Enfin, tous les secrets qui rendent les jeux vidéo si réalistes vous seront dévoilés : de la goutte d’eau à la texture de la peau, en passant par le rendu lumineux.Fractales, surfaces réglées, paraboloïdes hyperboliques… ce voyage en géométrie et en topologie vous surprendra et vous fera comprendre que sous la surface se cachent bien plus de mathématiques que vous ne le pensez."* Exposition conçue par l’Institut Henri Poincaré et le Musée des Arts et Métiers, avec le soutien du Fonds de dotation de l’IHP. **Ensuite, nous pourrons découvrir l’exposition gratuite** consacrée à **Alexandre Grothendieck** :https://www.ihp.fr/fr/actualites-science-et-societe/grothendieck-mathematicien-le-temps-des-reflexions-1973-1991 *"Il y avait un mathématicien qui, au faîte de sa gloire, abandonna la recherche scientifique pour prôner l’écologie radicale, devint professeur à l’Université de Montpellier, se livra à la méditation, fut regardé par les unes et les uns comme un prophète et par d’autres comme un exalté, puis disparut. On pourrait bâtir à partir de ces épisodes la biographie d’un « effrayant génie » et écrire des récits ornés d’anecdotes et des portraits pittoresques susceptibles de divertir l’amateur ou l'amatrice de savants illustres.Notre approche est différente. C’est un portrait d’Alexandre Grothendieck mathématicien que nous avons voulu composer dans cette exposition en nous plaçant aussi loin qu’il était possible du tumulte biographique.Les traces d’une activité perpétuelle de recherche mathématique entre 1973 et 1991 sont à la fois visibles et nombreuses, comme nous le montrent les milliers de pages écrites par Grothendieck entre son arrivée à Montpellier et son départ pour le village de Lasserre en Ariège. Ces pages ont fourni l’essentiel de la documentation et de l’iconographie de cette exposition.Nous espérons que les visiteurs auront plaisir à suivre avec nous quelques fragments d’itinéraire d’une exploration mathématique accomplie naguère par Grothendieck. Les territoires de ce nouveau continent sont les théories mathématiques qu’il découvrit et les étapes de ce voyage, les textes qu’il écrivit."* À très bientôt ! 🌌 ========================================================== Dear Group Elements 🌌 I invite you to join me for a mathematical afternoon at the Institut Henri Poincaré, exploring surfaces, geometry, and abstraction. We’ll begin with a guided visit of the exhibition Beneath the Surface: Mathematics, and continue with a second, free exhibition at the same venue dedicated to Alexander Grothendieck, one of the most influential mathematicians of the 20th century. Two exhibitions, one place, one journey — from visible surfaces to abstract mathematical worlds. 🌌 After the visits, for those who wish, we can continue the discussion over a coffee or a drink nearby — *to share impressions, ask questions, or simply extend the experience.* Here is the page for the exhibition Beneath the Surface: Mathematics: https://www.ihp.fr/fr/actualites-science-et-societe/sous-la-surface-les-maths **Full price ticket: 17 euros** **Ticketing:** https://billetterie-maison-poincare.ihp.fr/animations-maison-poincare/maison-poincare-animations-visites-guidees/visite-guidee-sous-la-surface-les-maths Exhibition dossier: https://www.ihp.fr/sites/default/files/media/downloads/Dossier_presentation_Surface.pdf *How can a 3D object be represented in 2D? How can convincing video game characters and environments be created? What is the connection between sewing, geography, and computer graphics?* *With the exhibition Beneath the Surface: Mathematics, discover the mathematical principles hidden behind these questions.* *Through games, explanatory videos, measuring instruments, and mathematical models from the Institut Henri Poincaré’s collections, the exhibition explores how digital surfaces are created.* *The first part of the exhibition focuses on representing 3D objects on a 2D plane — a problem already explored by Renaissance painters. The journey then continues across the surface of the Earth: how do we go from the globe to a world map? Finally, the secrets that make video games feel so real are revealed, from a drop of water to the texture of skin, including light rendering.* *Fractals, ruled surfaces, hyperbolic paraboloids… this journey through geometry and topology will surprise you and help you understand that beneath the surface, there is far more mathematics than one might think.* Exhibition designed by the Institut Henri Poincaré and the Musée des Arts et Métiers, with the support of the IHP Endowment Fund. Next, we can discover the free exhibition dedicated to ***Alexander Grothendieck:*** https://www.ihp.fr/fr/actualites-science-et-societe/grothendieck-mathematicien-le-temps-des-reflexions-1973-1991 *There was a mathematician who, at the height of his fame, abandoned scientific research to advocate radical ecology, became a professor at the University of Montpellier, devoted himself to meditation, and was regarded by some as a prophet and by others as an eccentric, before disappearing. One could build from these episodes the biography of a “terrifying genius” and write stories filled with anecdotes and picturesque portraits designed to entertain lovers of famous scientists.* *Our approach is different. This exhibition presents Alexander Grothendieck the mathematician, keeping as far as possible from biographical drama.* *The traces of his continuous mathematical research between 1973 and 1991 are both visible and abundant, as shown by the thousands of pages Grothendieck wrote between his arrival in Montpellier and his departure for the village of Lasserre in Ariège. These pages form the core of the exhibition’s documentation and imagery.* *Visitors are invited to follow fragments of the itinerary of Grothendieck’s mathematical explorations. The territories of this new continent are the mathematical theories he discovered, and the stages of this journey are the texts he wrote.* See you very soon! 🌌

Hi Badminton Fans! Come and join us every Sunday for a fun session of badminton. There are usually 2 sessions to choose from. **This session is open to intermediate level players and above ONLY.** What that means is that you should be comfortable with short serves to the T, doubles rotations, and smashes. There is also an open session at 11 am for players of all abilities. See the separate event just above. **Which Session To Choose** If you're unsure of your level, sign up for the 11am session to start or ask us! We try our utmost to ensure that you play with people of similar levels. **What Do You Need** Don't worry about equipment; racquets and shuttlecocks are provided, and there's no need for a badminton license or insurance. Just bring your indoor sports shoes, and a willingness to meet new friends and have lots of fun. There are changing rooms and showers. **Get There Early** Try and get there early to change and get warmed up so that we can start right on time. The courts are normally not being used before we play, so we can get a little extra time playing. **Registration & Payments** Registration is 14€ per person, and you can sign up via PayPal through this event page. For alternative payments, check for available slots on the event page first. Then, submit your payment via https://revolut.me/jonathwu3q with a description of which event you are signing up for and send the screenshot to one of us so that we can add you. *Please Note: If your name is **not** in the attendees list and you do not have confirmation from us, you will be turned away.* **Annual Membership Option** For regular players, there is the option to take out an annual membership. This costs 80€ for the first year and is renewable each year for 40€. This reduces the weekly registration fee to only 10€ per session. **No Refunds** In the case of a cancellation or no-show, there are no refunds. See you all on the court on Sunday. Happy badminton-ing! Kelvin (0603250357) and Vijay (0767341832) **FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS** 1. I don’t speak French, can I join? * Yes! We are an international group and everyone speaks English! 2. Are there still available slots? I can’t sign up! Help! * Check the bottom of the event page for availabilities. Once full, RSVPs will be closed. Sign up as early as possible because the events fill up very quickly. 3. I signed up, but I can’t make it! Can I get a refund? * No refunds for cancellations or no-shows. If you inform us early enough, we can try to find a substitute and refund you, but no guarantees. 4. Why can’t I get a refund? * We need a fixed number of participants to maximize court usage, court fees, team arrangements, and team rotations. Cancelations throw all of this off. 5. Do I need to bring anything? Water? Racquets? Birdies? * If you have your own racquet, that will be best! Otherwise, we have spare ones and we provide the shuttlecocks. Bring enough water to hydrate yourself.

**People Analytics 101: Making Sense of Compensation Data** Compensation data is one of the most widely used and widely misunderstood forms of people analytics. The session will cover where compensation data comes from, including market pricing data, internal payroll data, and benchmarking sources, and how companies think about structuring and analyzing that information. We will explore how compensation data is leveraged to set salary ranges, manage internal equity, support hiring and retention, and align pay with business strategy. A portion of the session will address common data challenges and limitations, such as market noise, inconsistent job matching, and incomplete datasets, while keeping the primary focus on practical use rather than technical depth. The session will also look ahead at where the space is going, including the growing impact of pay transparency laws, expanding pay equity requirements, and emerging regulations in the US and Europe that require organizations to report on gender and pay gaps. The goal is to give attendees a clear mental model for how compensation analytics works today and why getting it right is becoming increasingly critical. (note: we are back at Rev1 this month!) **About Our Speaker** [Alex Moore](https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexscottmoore/) is the founder of [Moore Cooperative](https://moorecooperative.com/), where he advises organizations on compensation strategy, pay equity, and people analytics. His work focuses on helping organizations like the Ohio Supreme Court design, analyze, and communicate compensation systems that are data-informed, defensible, and aligned with organizational goals. Alex lives in Granville, Ohio and has three little kiddos. More info at [cbusdaw.com](https://cbusdaw.com)

**Day 1 — Foundation & Deal Control** This two-day, end-of-month Real Estate Investing (REI) Intensive is designed for investors who want real traction, not theory. Day One is about controlling the deal flow. We break down how to find opportunities in today’s market, underwrite them correctly, and avoid the emotional and financial traps that wipe out most new and mid-level investors. You’ll learn how operators are sourcing deals right now, how to analyze markets and properties with discipline, and how to structure acquisitions so the numbers work before you ever swing a hammer. This is about building a repeatable system—not chasing the next shiny strategy. **Day 2 — Capital, Execution & Scale** Day Two shifts from deals to execution and scale. We go deep on renovation management, capital stack planning, and exit strategies—fix and flip, buy-and-hold, and hybrid plays—so you understand how to protect downside risk and maximize upside. You’ll see real case studies, real numbers, and real mistakes made by experienced operators, not influencers. The intensive closes by connecting the dots between education and action, showing you how to plug into ongoing coaching, deal opportunities, and higher-level collaboration for investors who are serious about building long-term wealth, not just doing a one-off deal.

### Tools in your AI's Toolbox : An introduction to MCP Servers The generative AI revolution has unlocked unprecedented capabilities, but the next frontier is agency: empowering models to interact with, query, and act upon the world. The current challenge is the “N x M integration problem,” where every AI model requires a custom, brittle integration for each external tool or data source. This approach simply doesn’t scale. How can we give an AI access to our sales leads, code repositories, or IoT devices in a standardized, secure, and reusable way? This session introduces Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol (MCP), the open-source framework designed to solve this challenge and become the universal connector—the USB-C port—for AI. MCP standardizes how AI models discover and use external tools, moving beyond simple function-calling to a robust, client-server architecture. We will dive into how this open protocol is creating a new ecosystem for building powerful, context-aware AI agents. Join this session for a developer-focused introduction where you will learn how to: Understand the core concepts of the open-source Model Context Protocol and its architecture. Utilize pre-built, open-source MCP servers to instantly connect AI to tools like Git, Slack, and databases. Build a custom MCP server to securely expose your own proprietary data and APIs as tools for any compliant AI. Move beyond bespoke integrations and contribute to a standardized, collaborative, and open ecosystem. Stop building one-off connectors and start building intelligent agents. This session will give you the practical knowledge to leverage MCP and create the next generation of AI that doesn’t just talk, but does.
