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 courses provides the foundation of knowledge and skills essential to all mathematics students, regardless of their future role and field of activity. These courses 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 physics minor, this also includes physics classes.
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)
- General Physics (4 ECTS)
- Geometric Optics (2 ECTS)
- Electronics 1 (4 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)
- Kinematics and statics of solids (5 ECTS)
- Thermodynamics 1A and 1B (3+2 ECTS)
