CH-353: Introduction to electronic structure methodsRepetition of the basic concepts of quantum mechanics and main numerical algorithms used for practical implementions. Basic principles of electronic structure methods:Hartree-Fock, many body perturbation theory, configuration interaction, coupled-cluster t ...
MATH-502: Distribution and interpolation spacesThe goal of this course is to give an introduction to the theory of distributions and cover the fundamental results of Sobolev spaces including fractional spaces that appear in the interpolation theory. Those notions are central to the study of partial dif ...
MATH-100(b): Advanced analysis IDans ce cours, nous étudierons les notions fondamentales de l'analyse réelle, ainsi que le calcul différentiel et intégral pour les fonctions réelles d'une variable réelle. ...
MATH-302: Functional analysis IConcepts de base de l'analyse fonctionnelle linéaire: opérateurs bornés, opérateurs compacts, théorie spectrale pour les opérateurs symétriques et compacts, le théorème de Hahn-Banach, les théorèmes de l'application ouverte et du graphe fermé. ...
MATH-220: Topology I - point set topologyNous verrons d'abord comment la notion de continuité pour des applications entre espaces euclidiens se généralise aux applications entre espaces métriques. Nous étudierons ensuite en profondeur l'axiomatisation élégante et puissante de ces notions au cadre ...
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. ...
BIO-369: Randomness and information in biological dataBiology is becoming more and more a data science, as illustrated by the explosion of available genome sequences. This course aims to show how we can make sense of such data and harness it in order to understand biological processes in a quantitative way. ...
AR-301(n): Studio BA5 (Lapierre)Des communautés shakers aux USA à la question du logement à Bâle, le semestre interroge l'habitat comme lieu intime et collectif, en explorant la transformation des espaces de travail en nouveaux lieux de partage. ...
CS-450: Algorithms IIA first graduate course in algorithms, this course assumes minimal background, but moves rapidly. The objective is to learn the main techniques of algorithm analysis and design, while building a repertory of basic algorithmic solutions to problems in many ...
CS-455: Topics in theoretical computer scienceThe students gain an in-depth knowledge of several current and emerging areas of theoretical computer science. The course familiarizes them with advanced techniques, and develops an understanding of fundamental questions that underlie some of the key probl ...
COM-401: Cryptography and securityThis course introduces the basics of cryptography. We review several types of cryptographic primitives, when it is safe to use them and how to select the appropriate security parameters. We detail how they work and sketch how they can be implemented. ...
ENG-639: Dynamic programming and optimal controlThis course provides an introduction to stochastic optimal control and dynamic programming (DP), with a variety of engineering
applications. The course focuses on the DP principle of optimality, and its utility in deriving and approximating solutions to an ...
PENS-313: Light-timeCe cours s'articule autour de la lumière comme élément structurant de l'espace et du temps, à travers une approche mêlant dynamique solaire, matérialité, construction et empreinte écologique. ...
CS-451: Distributed algorithmsComputing is nowadays distributed over several machines, in a local IP-like network, a cloud or a P2P network. Failures are common and computations need to proceed despite partial failures of machines or communication links. This course will study the fo ...
COM-406: Foundations of Data ScienceWe discuss a set of topics that are important for the understanding of modern data science but that are typically not taught in an introductory ML course. In particular we discuss fundamental ideas and techniques that come from probability, information the ...
PHYS-753: Dynamics of astrophysical fluids and plasmasThe dynamics of ordinary matter in the Universe follows the laws of (magneto)hydrodynamics. In this course, the system of equations that describes astrophysical fluids will be discussed on the basis of selected astrophysical examples, from the physics of s ...
