Founded in 1722, the Université de Bourgogne is the region’s leading institution of higher education. The library of the Institut de Mathématiques de Bourgogne (IMB), named after Burgundy’s famous son, Gaspard Monge, is located in the Sciences Mirande building.
The Gaspard Monge library hosts the showcase with valuable mathematical volumes where, next to the works of V.I. Arnold, the Gömböc is on display.
