Presentation
The first year of the bachelor's degree in mathematics (L1 Mathematics and Applications) is a stage for acquiring fundamental knowledge and orientation. A first group of teaching units provides the foundation of knowledge and skills essential to all mathematics students, regardless of their future role and field of activity. These teaching units are based on the following fundamental pillars: Algebra, Analysis, Geometry, Arithmetic, and Counting.
A second group of teaching units complements the training program and the transition from high school to university. It consists of a choice between Calculus and Remediation and an English teaching unit. If you choose the computer science minor, this also includes courses in algorithms and programming.
Objectives
- Acquire solid knowledge in mathematics
- Acquire abstract thinking and problem-solving skills
- Acquire writing and communication skills
- Learn to program
- Develop a working method, an ability to synthesize information, precision, and rigor
Know-how and skills
The skills acquired during the three-year bachelor's degree in mathematics provide students with in-depth knowledge of mathematics, enabling them to pursue various master's degrees focused on fundamental mathematics, teaching, or more applied mathematics.
The first year of the bachelor's degree lays the foundations for developing these skills.
Program
The year is organized into two semesters:
Semester 1:
- English S1 (1 ECTS)
- Reasoning and Set Theory (2 ECTS)
- Algebra I Linear Systems (5 ECTS)
- Analysis I Functions of a Variable and Sequences (5 ECTS)
- Geometry in the plane, space, and the complex plane (4 ECTS)
- Remediation in Mathematics or Calculus (3 ECTS)
- Algorithms 1 (5 ECTS)
- Functional Programming (5 ECTS)
Semester 2:
- English S2 (2 ECTS)
- Analysis II Sequences, series, limited developments (6 ECTS)
- Algebra II Vector spaces and linear applications (6 ECTS)
- Arithmetic and counting (6 ECTS)
- Remediation in Mathematics or Calculus (3 ECTS)
- Algorithms 2 (5 ECTS)
- C Programming (5 ECTS)

Target audience
Bachelor's degree or equivalent, with a strong mathematics component (specialization in mathematics strongly recommended).
Mandatory prerequisites
Specialization in mathematics in 11th and 12th grades.
Recommended prerequisites
Advanced Math Option
NSI specialization is a plus but not essential.
And after
Continuing education
Second year mathematics or second year computer science (by application)
Professional integration
This program paves the way for careers in teaching and/or research and for engineering careers after completing a specialized master's degree (or equivalent).
