Objectives
The first part of the course will cover the basics of the LaTeX markup language.
We will see how to use it to write a mathematical text, such as lecture notes or a Thesis, and to prepare slides for a presentation.
In the second part we will focus on SageMath and other mathematical software to carry out computations. We will also briefly talk about computational complexity and how to write more efficient code. -
Course learning outcomes
The student who completes the course will be able to use the LaTeX markup language to write documents and prepare slide-based presentations and to use SageMath and other mathematical software to carry out computations. -
Description
LaTeX [1] is a markup language to write and format documents of any type. It is particularly well-suited for scientific documents, but it can be used for any type of document, including books, CVs and even presentation slides.
It can be used together with a graphical front-end (such as TexMaker, TexStudio, Overleaf…) to immediately see the pdf output. The main advantage over a more classical word processor such as Microsoft Word, besides a much better support for writing mathematical formulas and theorems, is that in LaTeX “What you see is what you mean” [2]: by typing commands instead of visually changing the appearence of the text, the “compiler” will always try to produce an output that is faithful to what the user indicated, so the user does not have to manually adjust the result after every major modification.
SageMath [3] is a free and open-source Mathematical software system which builds on top of many existing: NumPy, SciPy, matplotlib, Sympy, Pari/GP, GAP, R and many more. Thanks to it, all the features all these languages can be accessed from a common python-based interface.
In practice, the SageMath “language” is almost identical to python, but it provides a complete set of libraries to deal with many mathematical objects and computations.- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LaTeX

Objectives
This course is about object-oriented programming, a paradigm that enables programmers to deal with program complexity by decomposing programs into small, self-contained units that can easily be reused and adapted across projects. The course will have a practical flavour, with demonstrations, examples, and assignments.
听
We will rely on the Java programming language to concretize object-oriented concepts through the development of programs.听 Java is among the five most popular and most demanded programming languages on the job market; it is used in Web-based, Android, and embedded systems. Java is popular because it is easy to learn, has a rich set of programming APIs, and is supported by many development tools.
听
In this course, through Java, the students will learn to develop software applications of medium complexity relying on class inheritance and decomposition, known Java data structures, exception handling, file processing, GUIs, and concurrency support.
-
Course learning outcomes
The course will lead to the following learning outcomes:- Design, code, test, and debug Java programs that follow an object-oriented design and uses each of the following fundamental programming constructs: classes, assignment and expressions, console I/O, conditional and iterative structures, functions with parameter passing, structured data types provided with the language, use file I/O to provide persistence across multiple executions, rely on exception-handling mechanism.
- Write programs of medium complexity that use Java GUI APIs and rely on concurrency mechanisms.
- Develop tests for program modules and apply a variety of strategies to design test cases.
- Build, execute and debug programs using a modern IDE and associated tools such as visual debuggers.
-

Objectives
Dans l’histoire on comprend par l’alg猫bre l’茅tude des 茅quations. Au cours des 2000 ans de cette 茅tude, les gens se sont aper莽us que certaines structures revenaient tr猫s souvent, et en plus dans des contextes tout 脿 fait diff茅rents ! Depuis, les alg茅bristes s’occupent aussi de l’茅tude et du d茅veloppement de ces structures, ainsi que, 茅videmment, de leurs applications dans d’autres domaines en sciences, ing茅nierie et math茅matiques.
L’objet principal du cours sera l’茅tude des anneaux et des extensions alg茅briques des corps commutatifs. En particulier, la th茅orie de Galois sera d茅velopp茅e et appliqu茅e. Elle permet entre autres de d茅montrer que l’茅quation g茅n茅rale de degr茅 au moins 5 ne peut pas 锚tre r茅solue en radicaux et de r茅soudre (parfois de mani猫re n茅gative) plusieurs probl猫mes classiques (provenant des anciens Grecs) de construction 脿 la r猫gle et au compas comme la trisection d’un angle et la quadrature du cercle. -
Description
Le cours couvrira les sujets suivants :
- th茅or猫mes d’isomorphismes pour groupes et anneaux (sous-groupes distingu茅s, id茅aux, quotients)
- anneaux g茅n茅raux: id茅aux premiers et maximaux, quotients, corps des fractions d’un anneau int猫gre
- anneaux euclidiens et anneaux factoriels
- crit猫res d’irr茅ductibilit茅 pour polyn么mes
- extensions alg茅briques de corps
- corps : caract茅ristique, cl么ture alg茅brique, corps de rupture, corps de d茅composition, corps finis
- quelques constructions 脿 la r猫gle et au compas

Objectives
The course on modern physics describes the new physics, that was developed in the first half of the 20th century. As an experimental course, we will emphasise the experimental evidence that triggered the development of modern physics. The course lays the foundations for the rigorous treatment of quantum mechanics in the 4th semester.
The course aims to clarify the fact, that physics is a science in evolution, where new observations may lead to completely new theories. -
Course learning outcomes
Students will听
-understand the challenges for classical physics and how they led to the development of the theory of special relativity and of quantum mechanics
-understand the basic laws and principles of special relativity and of quantum mechanics, in particular, where they are counter-intuitive with respect to everyday experience
-deal confidently with the laws and principles of basic atomic physics
-can apply these laws to unknown problems -

Description
We are all accustomed to the idea of experiments in physics, chemistry or biology. But mathematics can be done at an equally experimental level, often using computational methods. This applies to statistics, algebra, analysis, geometry, and other flavours of mathematics, and includes听
visualising complex mathematical objects,
using computers to work with examples that go beyond what is possible using pen and paper,
finding patterns in complicated data.
Even in highly abstract areas of mathematics the value of experimentation has increased dramatically in recent years, with computers, programming languages and computer algebra systems getting stronger and easier to use.听
This course allows students to participate in a research like project in an area of experimental mathematics. The students work in small groups under the guidance of a researcher of the Department of Mathematics. They produce a project report (a pdf document) and other material (such as images, videos, code, data), depending on the project. Finally, they also present their work in a small presentation during the exam period.
-
Assessment
The students are evaluated on the project report and the additional material they produced, on a midterm report, their performance during the semester, and the final presentation.
In justified cases, it is possible to propose different marks for different students working in the same group.
Retake exam听
If a project is failed, a new project should be done in the next or a later semester. The project group, the topic and the supervisor(s) can change.
Absence plan听
In the case of a justified absence from the final project presentation, a separate presentation will be proposed as close to the originally planned date as possible.

Nous allons 茅tudier quelques 茅tapes dans l鈥檋istoire des math茅matiques. Le prochain cours sera consacr茅 脿 l鈥櫭﹖ude de la g茅om茅trie dans l鈥檈space. Un 茅vennement d茅cisif en 茅tait la d茅couverte de la perspective pendant le 15e si猫cle. Nous consid茅rons aussi les 芦 El茅ments d鈥橢uclide 禄 y compris les constructions 脿 la r猫gle et au compas, la st茅reom茅trie et les corps r茅guliers (platoniciens).

Pour terminer on va jeter un coup d鈥櫯搃l 脿 la quatri猫me dimension.
Wir beginnen mit der Entdeckung der Perspektive im 15. Jh. Dann wenden wir uns den 鈥濫lementen鈥 des Euklid zu. Hier betrachten wir die Konstruktionen mit Zirkel und Lineal, die Stereometrie und die regul盲ren (Platonischen) K枚rper. Anschlie脽end kommen wir zur modernen Raumgeometrie, insbesondere zur Formel von Euler. Schlie脽lich m枚chte ich auf die Zusammenh盲nge zwischen der Perspektive und der projektiven Geometrie eingehen.

The first part of the course will cover the basics of the LaTeX markup language.
We will see how to use it to write a mathematical text, such as lecture notes or a Thesis, and to prepare slides for a presentation.
In the second part we will focus on SageMath and other mathematical software to carry out computations. We will also briefly talk about computational complexity and how to write more efficient code. -
Course learning outcomes
The student who completes the course will be able to use the LaTeX markup language to write documents and prepare slide-based presentations and to use SageMath and other mathematical software to carry out computations. -
Description
LaTeX [1] is a markup language to write and format documents of any type. It is particularly well-suited for scientific documents, but it can be used for any type of document, including books, CVs and even presentation slides.
It can be used together with a graphical front-end (such as TexMaker, TexStudio, Overleaf…) to immediately see the pdf output. The main advantage over a more classical word processor such as Microsoft Word, besides a much better support for writing mathematical formulas and theorems, is that in LaTeX “What you see is what you mean” [2]: by typing commands instead of visually changing the appearence of the text, the “compiler” will always try to produce an output that is faithful to what the user indicated, so the user does not have to manually adjust the result after every major modification.
SageMath [3] is a free and open-source Mathematical software system which builds on top of many existing: NumPy, SciPy, matplotlib, Sympy, Pari/GP, GAP, R and many more. Thanks to it, all the features all these languages can be accessed from a common python-based interface.
In practice, the SageMath “language” is almost identical to python, but it provides a complete set of libraries to deal with many mathematical objects and computations.- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LaTeX

Description
We are all accustomed to the idea of experiments in physics, chemistry or biology. But mathematics can be done at an equally experimental level, often using computational methods. This applies to statistics, algebra, analysis, geometry, and other flavours of mathematics, and includes听
visualising complex mathematical objects,
using computers to work with examples that go beyond what is possible using pen and paper,
finding patterns in complicated data.
Even in highly abstract areas of mathematics the value of experimentation has increased dramatically in recent years, with computers, programming languages and computer algebra systems getting stronger and easier to use.听
This course allows students to participate in a research like project in an area of experimental mathematics. The students work in small groups under the guidance of a researcher of the Department of Mathematics. They produce a project report (a pdf document) and other material (such as images, videos, code, data), depending on the project. Finally, they also present their work in a small presentation during the exam period.

-
Assessment
The students are evaluated on the project report and the additional material they produced, on a midterm report, their performance during the semester, and the final presentation.
In justified cases, it is possible to propose different marks for different students working in the same group.

If a project is failed, a new project should be done in the next or a later semester. The project group, the topic and the supervisor(s) can change.
Absence plan听
In the case of a justified absence from the final project presentation, a separate presentation will be proposed as close to the originally planned date as possible.听

L’objectif de ce cours est de fournir les fondements math茅matiques sur lesquels se base l’int茅gration moderne. Cela inclut l’int茅grale par rapport 脿 la mesure de Lebesgue, que l’on utilise en analyse, et l’int茅grale par rapport 脿 une mesure abstraite finie qui constitue la base de la th茅orie moderne des probabilit茅s. Le cours montrera comme cette nouvelle th茅orie de l’int茅gration permet de d茅finir une int茅grale non seulement plus g茅n茅rale mais aussi plus simple 脿 utiliser. En particulier, nous verrons les grands th茅or猫mes permettant d鈥檌ntervertir une limite et une int茅grale ou d’intervertir deux int茅grales.

Nous allons 茅tudier quelques 茅tapes dans l鈥檋istoire des math茅matiques. Le prochain cours sera consacr茅 脿 l鈥櫭﹖ude de la g茅om茅trie dans l鈥檈space. Un 茅vennement d茅cisif en 茅tait la d茅couverte de la perspective pendant le 15e si猫cle. Nous consid茅rons aussi les 芦 El茅ments d鈥橢uclide 禄 y compris les constructions 脿 la r猫gle et au compas, la st茅reom茅trie et les corps r茅guliers (platoniciens).

Pour terminer on va jeter un coup d鈥櫯搃l 脿 la quatri猫me dimension.
Wir beginnen mit der Entdeckung der Perspektive im 15. Jh. Dann wenden wir uns den 鈥濫lementen鈥 des Euklid zu. Hier betrachten wir die Konstruktionen mit Zirkel und Lineal, die Stereometrie und die regul盲ren (Platonischen) K枚rper. Anschlie脽end kommen wir zur modernen Raumgeometrie, insbesondere zur Formel von Euler. Schlie脽lich m枚chte ich auf die Zusammenh盲nge zwischen der Perspektive und der projektiven Geometrie eingehen.

The first part of the course will cover the basics of the LaTeX markup language.
We will see how to use it to write a mathematical text, such as lecture notes or a Thesis, and to prepare slides for a presentation.
In the second part we will focus on SageMath and other mathematical software to carry out computations. We will also briefly talk about computational complexity and how to write more efficient code. -

The student who completes the course will be able to use the LaTeX markup language to write documents and prepare slide-based presentations and to use SageMath and other mathematical software to carry out computations. -
Description
LaTeX [1] is a markup language to write and format documents of any type. It is particularly well-suited for scientific documents, but it can be used for any type of document, including books, CVs and even presentation slides.
It can be used together with a graphical front-end (such as TexMaker, TexStudio, Overleaf…) to immediately see the pdf output. The main advantage over a more classical word processor such as Microsoft Word, besides a much better support for writing mathematical formulas and theorems, is that in LaTeX “What you see is what you mean” [2]: by typing commands instead of visually changing the appearence of the text, the “compiler” will always try to produce an output that is faithful to what the user indicated, so the user does not have to manually adjust the result after every major modification.
SageMath [3] is a free and open-source Mathematical software system which builds on top of many existing: NumPy, SciPy, matplotlib, Sympy, Pari/GP, GAP, R and many more. Thanks to it, all the features all these languages can be accessed from a common python-based interface.
In practice, the SageMath “language” is almost identical to python, but it provides a complete set of libraries to deal with many mathematical objects and computations.- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LaTeX
