Presentation

This course is intended for students preparing for the competitive examination (external or special) in mathematics. Its purpose is to support students in their revision and prepare them for the various tests in the examination. The first semester is divided between revision of the concepts included in the examination program and an introduction to the specific tests. The second semester begins with finalizing preparation for the written exams and then focuses on preparing for the oral exams. The ECTS credits earned in the various course units of the program allow students to validate the M2 required for the exam.
