Presentation
The second year of the mathematics degree (L2 General Mathematics) is a stage of acquisition of fundamental elements and orientation. A first group of teaching units constitutes a base of knowledge and skills essential to all students in mathematics, whatever their future function and sector of activity. These teaching units are based on the following fundamental pillars: algebra and polynomials, differential and integral calculus, sequences and series.
A second group of teaching units constitutes an accompaniment of the student in his training course. These are elements of more numerical methodology with the use of computer tools linked to numerical analysis, elements of reasoning in the theory of probabilities, elements of deepening of modern languages and future orientation (PPE).
Objectives
- Acquire a solid knowledge of mathematics
- Acquire abstraction and problem-solving skills
- Acquire writing and expression skills
- Learn to program
- Develop a working method, a spirit of synthesis, precision and rigor.
Know-how and skills
The skills acquired during the three years of the Bachelor of Mathematics program allow students to acquire in-depth knowledge of mathematics in order to pursue various master's degrees in fundamental mathematics, teaching, or more applied mathematics.
The second year of the degree is a key step in developing these skills.
Program
The year is organized in two semesters:
Semester 1:
- Algebra III Reduction of endomorphisms (6 ECTS)
- Analysis III integration and elementary differential equations (6 ECTS)
- Arithmetic of polynomials (3ECTS)
- Probability (5 ECTS)
- Elementary numerical analysis (3ECTS)
- English (2 ECTS)
- 1 additional UE according to the minor info or physics
Semester2:
- Algebra IV Euclidean spaces (6 ECTS)
- Analysis IV sequences of functions, integer series, Fourier (8 ECTS)
-Topology of R^n and functions of several variables (5 ECTS)
- Statistics (3 ECTS)
- Numerical linear algebra (4 ECTS)
- PPE of mathematics (2 ECTS)
- English 2 ECTS)
