Abstract

In the group AEROSPATIALE, research and development activities represent 25% of the turn-over. This ratio is significant even for a high technology Company. Moreover, a lot of people who work at AEROSPATIALE, graduated from an engineering school and therefore received a top-level training in mathematics. Scientific computing is also essential for this company which has to devote a large part of its investments to software and hardware — a lot of packages are bought, rented or even developed at AEROSPATIALE and supercomputers like CRAY YMP 2E for the ESPACE & DEFENSE branch are intensively used —.
