The School's curricula

Curriculum in Pure Mathematics

The curriculum deals with one or more of the following scientific research areas:

  • Calculus of Variations
  • Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations
  • Analytic and Algebraic Geometry
  • Mathematical Physics and Dynamical Systems
  • Stochastic Processes
  • Mathematical Logic
  • Groups and Lie Algebra Theory
  • Convex Analysis and History of Mathematics

Curriculum in Mathematical Modelling and Scientific Computing (MAMOSC)

The curriculum deals with the following scientific research areas:

  • Biomathematics and Population Dynamics
  • Stochastic Processes
  • Numerical Methods for Partial Differential Equations.

Curriculum in Mathematics Education and Communication

This curriculum  transversally deals with the following scientific research areas:

  • Mathematical Education: mathematical learning and cognitive processes; school curricula, reference systems and standards; tests' methodology and evaluation techniques of the mathematical knowledge.
  • Mathematics' Communication: programs and strategies; planning, implementation, experimentation, and evaluation of materials and of techniques for Mathematics' Communication.

Curriculum "Algebraic Coding Theory and Cryptography: algebraic and geometric methods"

This curriculum aims at fostering research in the mathematical methods underpinning algebraic coding theory and cryptography, in particular:

  • Algebraic methods: linear algebra, commutative algebra, computational algebra, Groebner bases, numerical fields, group theory;
  • Geometric methods: algebraic geometry over finite fields, elliptic curves.

The research problems range from purely theoretical classifications to industrial applications, the latter complemented by internships within leading companies.
