[2] She attended the lycée in Tarbes, the nearest town large enough for that level of school, and then spent two years in a preparatory mathematics course for entrance to the grandes écoles in Toulouse, where her sister worked as a teacher.
At approximately the same time, she became interested in model theory through a book by Georg Kreisel and Jean-Louis Krivine [fr].
She returned to Paris Diderot University and to the directorship of IREM in 1999, and retired as an emeritus professor in 2010.
[1][2] Artigue's early work in mathematics education focused on derivatives and integrals and on the graphical representation of functions.
Artigue won the Félix Klein medal of the International Commission on Mathematical Instruction in 2013.
