Objectives

The "fundamental mathematics" program aims to prepare students for careers in fundamental mathematics research and for the competitive examination for the teaching certificate in mathematics.

Students wishing to prepare for this competitive examination should choose the M1 in "Fundamental Mathematics" and the M2 in "Preparation for the Agrégation competitive examination."

Know-how and skills

The mathematics taught in the "fundamental mathematics" course covers most of the core curriculum of the mathematics teaching certification exam, as well as its modeling option. Students are trained to solve highly technical problems in algebra, analysis, and geometry (e.g., representations and actions of groups, spectral analysis, differential geometry, etc.), as they commonly arise in mathematical research and its applications.
