Presentation

The first year of the mathematics degree program (L1 Mathematics and Applications) is a time for acquiring fundamental knowledge and orientation. A first group of teaching units provides a foundation of knowledge and skills that are essential for all students of mathematics, whatever their future role or sector of activity. These teaching units are based on the following fundamental pillars: Algebra, Analysis, Geometry, Arithmetic and Enumeration.

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 course. In the Physics minor, this also includes physics courses.

Know-how and skills

The skills acquired during the 3 years of the mathematics bachelor's degree enable students to acquire in-depth knowledge of mathematics, enabling them to go on to various master's degrees in fundamental mathematics, teaching or mathematical applications.

The first year of the bachelor's degree lays the foundations for developing these skills.
