Training Structure
College of Sciences
Overview
The “Fundamental Mathematics” track consists of courses that form the foundation for “advanced” mathematics in contemporary algebra, analysis, and geometry.
Objectives
The "Fundamental Mathematics" track is designed to prepare students for careers in research in fundamental mathematics.
Expertise and Skills
The mathematics taught in the “Fundamental Mathematics” track covers the bulk of the core curriculum for the Agrégation mathematics 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…), such as those commonly encountered in mathematical research and its applications.
Program
Internships and supervised projects: a supervised seminar in the first semester of the M2 program (3 ECTS), and an introductory research internship in the second semester of the M2 program (12 ECTS).
