Welcome on my home page ! la version francaise de tout ca se trouve ICI My name is Eric Chopin and I've been a Researcher in Theoretical Physics (elementary particles) and for 2 years a maths teacher in Grenoble (France). Now I work as a software developer since sept. 2000 and more specifically in the IT department of a company based in Geneva.

List of my scientific publications

My math lectures (in french) | LaTeX4Web: my LaTeX to HTML converter

An interesting math problem with one open question ...

I have also realized some softwares in C/Fortran for numerical simulations of particle physics experiments. Here are some links and tips about computing in various languages (C, Java, ...) Back to menu

Be careful to what you are looking on the web...

• THE WAR IS DECLARED AGAINST SPAM AND ADVERTISEMENT POPUPS. See how to fight against this new plague...
   
• BE AWARE ABOUT VIRUS HOAXES (these e-mail that are sent to create a panic. Then, the number of warning messages increases exponentially because of the panic and networks become saturated (this is actually the goal of these hoaxes)
   
• If you want to see the danger of sects, click for instance on SCIENTOLOGY
   
• You will find HERE the report to the french parliament about sects (412kb). The english translation is in progress (still far from being completed.... :-( ) .
  More reports are available on the site of the french parliament.
   
• A list of sects extracted from the report of the french parliament.
   
• HOMEOPATHY IS DANGEROUS!!! It has never been proved efficient yet, although some homeopathic products are reimbursed by the french Social Security!
  If you eat the whole content of one tube at 12CH, then you may eat only one active molecule. If the dilution is more important (say 15CH), then you must eat one million tubes to have a chance to eat only one active molecule. Imagine how many tubes you'd have to eat at 20CH or 40CH dilutions!!! However, homeopathy claims that 20CH or 40CH are more efficient than 12CH!!!!
   
• The Nizkor project is a gathering of information about what happened during World War II and highlights the mystification done by revisionnists: Nizkor Project. The aim of this project is to fight against the propaganda of Neo-Nazi groups on internet.
   

• International Festival of Animation Film in Annecy (in May).
• Paragliding. The paragliding info server of the Saleve school.
• Rockets (It was my main hobby when I was a teenager, and I've built several ones during 6 years).
• LIVE CAMERA LOOKING AT THE LAKE OF ANNECY

• MATHS/PHYSICS :Click here to get some links onto major sources of math/phys information (math/phy. bulletin board, CERN, ...)
   
• COMPUTING : Discover the LINUX operating system, which will soon become a challenger of Windows
• TEXT EDITING : Discover LaTeX, probably the best software for writing mathematics or physics documents.
• SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT : developer.com, Codeguru.com, ScriptSearch.com, W3C, the reference for web development
   
• PARTICLE PHYSICS : The CERN is an international laboratory for particle physics (More links...).
