Reference excerpt

University of Paris-Seine was an association of universities and higher education institutions (ComUE) located in the region of Paris, France. Member institutes include National School of Arts (Paris-Cergy), National School of Architecture (Versailles), National School of Landscaping, ESSEC Business School and University of Cergy-Pontoise among others. Started as the Paris-Seine initiative, it was renamed to University of Paris-Seine in 2015 according to the 2013 Law on Higher Education and Research (France).

History The association original formed as one of the Pôle de recherche et d'enseignement supérieur (PRES) in France, organizing universities and research institutions from West of Île-de-France, covering nearly the whole spectrum of sciences (fundamental, engineering, business). As a PRES, the association was named "Université du grand ouest parisien" and was officially created the 6th of February 2012, in the form of a établissement public de coopération scientifique (EPCS). It has been renamed « Université Paris-Seine » the 1st of March 2015.

Members The members of the University of Paris-Seine as of the 2015 statute are:

Cergy-Pontoise University - UCP; CY Tech, formerly École internationale des sciences du traitement de l'information - EISTI; ESSEC Business School - ESSEC; ISIPCA (Institut supérieur international du parfum, de la cosmétique et de l'aromatique alimentaire) École nationale supérieure d’architecture de Versailles - ENSA-V; École nationale supérieure du paysage - ENSP-V; École nationale supérieure d'arts de Paris-Cergy - ENSAPC; École nationale supérieure de l'électronique et de ses applications (ENSEA); Supméca (Institut Supérieur de Mécanique) ); École de Biologie Industrielle - EBI; École d'électricité, de production et des méthodes industrielles - ECAM-EPMI; Institut libre d'éducation physique supérieur - ILEPS; École supérieure d'Informatique, réseaux et systèmes d'information - ITESCIA; École pratique de service social - EPSS; École d'ingénieur d'agro-développement international - ISTOM.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with University of Paris-Seine

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what University of Paris-Seine claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In astronomy, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to University of Paris-Seine before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about University of Paris-Seine ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of University of Paris-Seine

In research: University of Paris-Seine appears in astronomy research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses University of Paris-Seine in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: University of Paris-Seine is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 2012 establishments in France, Education in Cergy-Pontoise, Engineering universities and colleges in France, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for University of Paris-Seine outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
