Michèle Audin (* 1954 in Algiers ) is a French mathematician who studies symplectic geometry and the history of mathematics. She is also a writer.

Michèle Audin is the daughter of the mathematician Maurice Audin . She studied at the École normal supérieure de jeunes filles in Sèvres and received her doctorate in 1986 from the University of Paris-South in Orsay ( Cobordismes d'immersions lagrangiennes et legendriennes ). She has been a professor at the Louis Pasteur University in Strasbourg (Institut de Recherche mathématique avancée, IRMA) since the 1990s and works on symplectic geometry, torus effects and integrable systems.

In the context of symplectic geometry, which has its roots in the mathematical formulation of classical mechanics (and optics) in Hamilton formalism, she also dealt with integrable cases of classical dynamic systems such as various gyroscopes (a well-known special case there comes from Sofia Kowalewskaja from the 19th century). Century). As a mathematician, she wrote a book about the beginnings of fractal geometry in function theory with the French Pierre Fatou and Gaston Julia (and Paul Montel ).

In 2009 she refused to accept membership in the Legion of Honor because the French president had not responded to a letter from her mother about the clarification of her father's fate. Her father died in Algeria in 1957 after being tortured by French paratroopers. In 2013 she published a book about her father (Une vie brève).

She also wrote a novel on the history of the Stokes' Theorem and researched the lives of otherwise unknown young women of the 1930s ( Mademoiselle Haas ). Her novel Comme une rivière bleue describes everyday life during the Paris Commune .
