The Analysis, Arithmetic, Geometry course is one of the 2nd year Master of the Master's track Mathematics and Applications at [Université Paris-Saclay] (https://www.universite-paris-saclay.fr/en). The main aim of the course is to prepare students for a thesis in fundamental mathematics.

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.
