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.

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.
