Objectives

This course is designed to prepare students for the competitive examination for the agrégation in mathematics.

The Agrégation of mathematics is a very selective recruitment exam which allows one to teach in high schools, preparatory classes (CPGE) or at the university (PRAG). The title of Agrégé can also be a very positive element in the perspective of a possible recruitment in a private company, insofar as it is the sign of an important capacity of work and concentration.
