Presentation
The "fundamental mathematics" course consists of classes that form the basis of "advanced" mathematics in contemporary algebra, analysis, and geometry.
Objectives
The "fundamental mathematics" program aims to prepare students for careers in fundamental mathematics research.
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., group representations and actions, spectral analysis, differential geometry, etc.), as they commonly arise in mathematical research and its applications.
Program
Internships and supervised projects: a supervised seminar in the first semester of the M2 (3 ECTS), and an introductory research internship in the second semester of the M2 (12 ECTS).
