This text contains a series of self-contained reviews on the state of the art in different areas of partial differential equations, presented by French mathematicians. Topics include qualitative properties of reaction-diffusion equations, multiscale methods coupling atomistic and continuum mechanics, adaptive semi-Lagrangian schemes for the Vlasov-Poisson equation, and coupling of scalar conservation laws.
