Presentation
The "Fundamental Mathematics" program consists of courses that form the basis of "advanced" mathematics in contemporary algebra, analysis and geometry.
Objectives
The aim of the "fundamental mathematics" program is to prepare students for careers in fundamental mathematics research.
Know-how and skills
The mathematics taught in the "fundamental mathematics" program covers most of the core curriculum of the competitive examination for the agrégation in mathematics, 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 are commonly encountered in mathematical research and its applications.
Program
Internships and tutored projects: a tutored seminar in the first semester of M2 (3 ECTS), and a research initiation internship in the second semester of M2 (12 ECTS).
