PHYS-100: Advanced physics I (mechanics)La Physique Générale I (avancée) couvre la mécanique du point et du solide indéformable. Apprendre la mécanique, c'est apprendre à mettre sous forme mathématique un phénomène physique, en modélisant la situation et appliquant les lois de la physique. ...
CS-101: Advanced information, computation, communication IDiscrete mathematics is a discipline with applications to almost all areas of study. It provides a set of indispensable tools to computer science in particular. This course reviews (familiar) topics as diverse as mathematical reasoning, combinatorics, disc ...
PHYS-757: Axiomatic Quantum Field TheoryPresentation of Wightman's axiomatic framework to QFT as well as to the necessary mathematical objects to their understanding (Hilbert analysis, distributions, group representations,...).
Proofs of the main mathematical consequences (CPT, spin-statistics ...
PHYS-642: Statistical physics for optimization & learningThis course covers the statistical physics approach to computer science problems, with an emphasis on heuristic & rigorous mathematical technics, ranging from graph theory and constraint satisfaction to inference to machine learning, neural networks and st ...
MATH-381: Mathematical logicBranche des mathématiques en lien avec le fondement des mathématiques et l'informatique théorique. Le cours est centré sur la logique du 1er ordre et l'articulation entre syntaxe et sémantique. C'est entre autres un cours dans lequel la pratique mathématiq ...
MATH-261: Discrete optimizationThis course is an introduction to linear and discrete optimization.
Warning: This is a mathematics course! While much of the course will be algorithmic in nature, you will still need to be able to prove theorems. ...
BIO-449: Understanding statistics and experimental designThis course is neither an introduction to the mathematics of statistics nor an introduction to a statistics program such as R. The aim of the course is to understand statistics from its experimental design and to avoid common pitfalls of statistical reason ...
