> Here is a lightly touched-up machine translation of what's visible of the article before the paywall banner for those who don't read French: I do want to say, as someone who has never studied French, it is shockingly easy for a native English speaker to pull up a French article, especially one touching math or science, and read enough to get the gist[0]. I highly recommend the curious to just attempt reading the article in French, and then come back and check your understanding against this machine translation. You'll be surprised how much you understand. [0] Probably because especially in the academic disciplines French and English have so many cognates, and even the jargon words are often cognate. E.g. the French word for a set (in mathematics) is "ensemble".
