Academic ranks in France
The following summarizes basic academic ranks in the French higher education system.
See Jean Chazy and Academic ranks in France
Agrégation
In France, the is the most competitive and prestigious examination for civil service in the French public education system.
Albert Einstein
Albert Einstein (14 March 1879 – 18 April 1955) was a German-born theoretical physicist who is widely held as one of the most influential scientists. Best known for developing the theory of relativity, Einstein also made important contributions to quantum mechanics. His mass–energy equivalence formula, which arises from relativity theory, has been called "the world's most famous equation".
See Jean Chazy and Albert Einstein
Apsidal precession
In celestial mechanics, apsidal precession (or apsidal advance) is the precession (gradual rotation) of the line connecting the apsides (line of apsides) of an astronomical body's orbit.
See Jean Chazy and Apsidal precession
Astronomer
An astronomer is a scientist in the field of astronomy who focuses their studies on a specific question or field outside the scope of Earth.
École Centrale de Lille
() is a graduate engineering school, with roots back to 1854 as the École des arts industriels et des mines de Lille, re-organised in 1872 as Institut industriel du Nord.
See Jean Chazy and École Centrale de Lille
École Centrale Paris
italic (ECP; also known as italic or Centrale) was a French grande école in engineering and science.

See Jean Chazy and École normale supérieure (Paris)
Bureau des Longitudes
The Bureau des Longitudes is a French scientific institution, founded by decree of 25 June 1795 and charged with the improvement of nautical navigation, standardisation of time-keeping, geodesy and astronomical observation.
See Jean Chazy and Bureau des Longitudes
Chazy equation
In mathematics, the Chazy equation is the differential equation It was introduced by as an example of a third-order differential equation with a movable singularity that is a natural boundary for its solutions.
See Jean Chazy and Chazy equation
French Academy of Sciences
The French Academy of Sciences (French: Académie des sciences) is a learned society, founded in 1666 by Louis XIV at the suggestion of Jean-Baptiste Colbert, to encourage and protect the spirit of French scientific research.
See Jean Chazy and French Academy of Sciences
General relativity
General relativity, also known as the general theory of relativity and Einstein's theory of gravity, is the geometric theory of gravitation published by Albert Einstein in 1915 and is the current description of gravitation in modern physics.
See Jean Chazy and General relativity
Grenoble
Grenoble (or Grainóvol; Graçanòbol) is the prefecture and largest city of the Isère department in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of southeastern France.
International Congress of Mathematicians
The International Congress of Mathematicians (ICM) is the largest conference for the topic of mathematics.
See Jean Chazy and International Congress of Mathematicians
Legion of Honour
The National Order of the Legion of Honour (Ordre national de la Légion d'honneur), formerly the Royal Order of the Legion of Honour (Ordre royal de la Légion d'honneur), is the highest French order of merit, both military and civil, and currently comprises five classes.

Paris
Paris is the capital and largest city of France.
Paris Gun
The Paris Gun (Paris-Geschütz / Pariser Kanone) was the name given to a type of German long-range siege gun, several of which were used to bombard Paris during World War I. They were in service from March to August 1918.
Société mathématique de France
The Société Mathématique de France (SMF) is the main professional society of French mathematicians.
See Jean Chazy and Société mathématique de France
Three-body problem
In physics, specifically classical mechanics, the three-body problem involves taking the initial positions and velocities (or momenta) of three point masses that orbit each other in space and calculating their subsequent trajectories using Newton's laws of motion and Newton's law of universal gravitation.
See Jean Chazy and Three-body problem
University of Paris
The University of Paris (Université de Paris), known metonymically as the Sorbonne, was the leading university in Paris, France, from 1150 to 1970, except for 1793–1806 during the French Revolution.
