Présentation
Objectives

Our master's program M2 offers three crash courses (in differential geometry, algebra and complex analysis) in September, several fundamental advanced courses in the first term (such as algebraic geometry, number theory, ergodic theory and dynamical systems, groups and geometry - the subjects may vary slightly from year to year) and a number of more specialized courses in the second term (the subjects change regularly and completely, we try to be sufficiently diverse in our offer). Of course you are also expected to write and defend a master thesis under the guidance of a senior researcher. This can be done at Orsay mathematical department but also at another research unit if necessary.

Location
ORSAY
Course Prerequisites

M1 in fundamental mathematics or an equivalent level of qualification. Admission upon competitive exam.

Additional information

Watch the video below to know more about M2 Analysis, Number Theory, and Geometry.

 

Skills
  • Understand and proficiently use high-level mathematical tools and methods.

  • Conceive and write a rigorous mathematical proof.

  • Analyse a research paper with a view to summarising it and using it.

  • Clearly explain a theory and mathematical results.

  • Understand and mathematically model a problem in order to resolve it.

Post-graduate profile

Students will have acquired basic knowledge of modern mathematics and studied a particular area in enough depth to begin research (usually in the context of thesis preparation).

Career prospects

The main outcome of this course is to prepare students for doctoral studies in fundamental mathematics.

Programme

Seul un groupe des UEs, "Cours Fondamentaux, compte au 1er semestre. On peut les choisir comme on veut, à condition de valider 30 ECTS. De plus on peut compléter par certains cours de AMS ("cours communs AAG-AMS, à préciser dans la maquette AMS)AMS).

Au second semestre, comptent deux groupes d'UE: Cours Spécialisés (6 ECTS) et Cours complémentaires (3 ECTS). Le reste, soit 21 ECTS, est acquis en effectuant un stage de recherche et soutenant un mémoire de M2. En outre, les étudiants peuvent suivre des cours de langues/FLE, histoire de maths ou séminaire des étudiants (ce dernier pouvant exceptionnellement remplacer un cours accéléré).
