Geocache Description:

In grad school, I lived in Paris, and studied physics in Orsay, to the South. While many people don't immediately think of the French when it comes to mathematics and physics, the French have some of the most notable names in those fields: Poincaré, Fourier, Ampère, Curie, Carnot, Descartes, Becquerel... It's quite an impressive list. This little puzzle is just a shout out to our French friends in the STEM fields, past and present.

The final location of the cache is encrypted below. It's not so bad of a puzzle, because most of the information below is "garbage". Of course, the number Pi is needed to help you. In fact, consider paying attention to the number to about 55th digit beyond the decimal point!
