Presentation
The "Fundamental Mathematics" pathway includes courses that form the basis of "advanced" mathematics in contemporary algebra, analysis and geometry.
Objectives
The "Fundamental Mathematics" pathway is designed to prepare students for careers in fundamental mathematics research.
Know-how and skills
The mathematics taught in the "Fundamental Mathematics" pathway covers most of the core curriculum of the agrégation de mathématiques competitive examination, 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 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 an introductory research internship in the second semester of M2 (12 ECTS).
