MATH-410: Riemann surfacesThis course is an introduction to the theory of Riemann surfaces. Riemann surfaces naturally appear is mathematics in many different ways: as a result of analytic continuation, as quotients of complex domains under discontinuous group actions, as algebraic ...
MATH-207(c): Analysis IV (for EL, GM, MX)This course serves as an introduction to the theory of complex analysis, Fourier series and Fourier transforms, the Laplace transform, with applications to the theory of ordinary and partial differential equations. These tools play an integral role in most ...
MATH-479: Linear algebraic groupsThe aim of the course is to give an introduction to linear algebraic groups and to give an insight into a beautiful subject that combines algebraic geometry with group theory. ...
PHYS-467: Machine learning for physicistsMachine learning and data analysis are becoming increasingly central in sciences including physics. In this course, fundamental principles and methods of machine learning will be introduced and practised. ...
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. ...
BIO-510: IGEMAn interdisciplinary EPFL student team will design and build genetic circuits with novel functionalities. Students learn to develop a project and carry it out to completion in a concrete manner. Their creativity and critical thinking are highly encouraged. ...
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 ...
ME-716: Similarity and Transport Phenomena in FluidThe course is an introduction to symmetry analysis in fluid mechanics. The student will learn how to find similarity and travelling-wave solutions to partial differential equations used in fluid and continuum mechanics. The course covers mathematical and p ...
HUM-311: Visual culture, image historyCet enseignement propose une approche matérielle et environnementale des images et des medias du XIXe au XXIe siècle (lanterne magique, photographie, cinéma, médias numériques, IA, etc.). ...
PHYS-216: Mathematical methods (for SPH)Ce cours est un complément aux cours d'analyse et d'algèbre linéaire qui apporte des méthodes et des techniques mathématiques supplémentaires requises pour les cours de physique de 3e année, notamment l'électrodynamique et la mécanique quantique. ...
MATH-658: Vanishing cycles and perverse sheavesThis course will explain the theory of vanishing cycles and perverse sheaves. We will see how the Hard Lefschetz theorem can be proved using perverse sheaves. If we have more time we will try to see the decomposition theorem and how to categorify certain p ...
AR-610: Digital mindsThe course deals with the role of digital culture in Architecture and Sciences of the city research. Stories of the vicissitudes, the potential for innovation and the research problems related to digital culture and technology will be at the centre of the ...
BIO-318: Scientific project design in synthetic biology (iGEM)An interdisciplinary EPFL student team will design and build genetic circuits with novel functionalities. Students learn to develop a project and carry it out to completion in a concrete manner. Their creativity and critical thinking are highly encouraged. ...
