Overview
The third year of the bachelor’s degree program in mathematics (L3 General Mathematics) completes the acquisition of knowledge that provides a solid foundation for pursuing various master’s programs in mathematics, regardless of their specialization (statistics, applied mathematics, fundamental mathematics, or mathematics education). It builds on the foundation laid in the first and second years (L1 and L2) with a stronger emphasis on abstraction and reasoning, with the goal of establishing the theoretical tools necessary for further study.
This year is also a transition year leading to the master’s program: the various specializations within the master’s program in mathematics are offered as course units, allowing students to choose electives that will help them determine their academic focus for the following year.
Objectives
: - Gain a solid foundation in mathematics
- Develop abstract thinking and reasoning skills
- Apply and build upon the writing and communication skills acquired in L1 and L2
- Strengthen work methods, the ability to synthesize information, and attention to detail and rigor
Expertise and Skills
The skills acquired during the three-year bachelor’s degree program in mathematics provide students with in-depth knowledge of mathematics, enabling them to pursue various master’s programs in mathematics, regardless of their specialization (statistics, applied mathematics, fundamental mathematics, or mathematics education).
The third year of the bachelor's degree program is the final stage in acquiring these skills
Program
The academic year is divided into two semesters:
Semester 5:
- Groups and Rings 1 (6 ECTS)
- Differential Calculus and Differential Equations (6 ECTS)

- Enumerative Combinatorics (4 ECTS)
- Probability Theory (4 ECTS)
- English (2 ECTS)
Semester 6:
- Topology of Metric Spaces (7 ECTS)
- Complex Analysis (6 ECTS)
- Numerical Analysis of Differential Equations (5 ECTS)
- General Education (2 ECTS)
- Choose one of the following three EU options.
- Stochastic Modeling (5 ECTS)
