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 ...
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 ...
CS-119(a): Information, Computation, CommunicationD'une part, le cours aborde: (1) la notion d'algorithme et de représentation de l'information, (2) l'échantillonnage d'un signal et la compression de données et (3) des aspects
liés aux systèmes: ordinateur, mémoire, etc. D'autre part, le cours donne une i ...
MATH-482: Number theory I.a - Algebraic number theoryAlgebraic number theory is the study of the properties of solutions of polynomial equations with integral coefficients; Starting with concrete problems, we then introduce more general notions like algebraic number fields, algebraic integers, units, ideal c ...
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. ...
MATH-310: AlgebraThis is an introduction to modern algebra: groups, rings and fields. ...
MATH-494: Topics in arithmetic geometryP-adic numbers are a number theoretic analogue of the real numbers, which interpolate between arithmetics, analysis and geometry. In this course we study their basic properties and give various applications, notably we will prove rationality of the Weil Ze ...
CS-308: Introduction to quantum computationThe course introduces the paradigm of quantum computating in an axiomatic way. We introduce the notions of quantum bits, gates, and circuits. We introduce themost important quantum algorithms. We also touch upon error-correcting codes. This course is indep ...
EE-110: Logic systems (for MT)Ce cours couvre les fondements des systèmes numériques. Sur la base d'algèbre Booléenne et de circuitscombinatoires et séquentiels incluant les machines d'états finis, les methodes d'analyse et de synthèse de systèmelogiques sont étudiées et appliquée ...
CS-214: Software constructionLearn how to design and implement reliable, maintainable, and efficient software using a mix of programming skills (declarative style, higher-order functions, inductive types, parallelism) and
fundamental software construction concepts (reusability, abstr ...
MATH-328: Algebraic geometry I - CurvesAlgebraic geometry is the common language for many branches of modern research in mathematics. This course gives an introduction to this field by studying algebraic curves and their intersection theory. ...
MATH-473: Complex manifoldsThe goal of this course is to help students learn the basic theory of complex manifolds and Hodge theory. ...
MATH-613: Abelian varietiesThis will be a basic course on abelian varieties. We will start with the analytic point of view, and then we will pass on to the algebraic one. A basic knowledge of differential geometry and algebraic geometry will be important to follow the course. ...
MATH-643: Applied l-adic cohomologyIn this course we will describe in numerous examples how methods from l-adic cohomology as developed by Grothendieck, Deligne and Katz can interact with methods from analytic number theory (prime numbers, modular forms etc...). ...
MATH-326: Rational quadratic formsGiven a quadratic equation, e.g. x^2 + 2*y^2 = 81, how can we decide whether there is a rational solution (x,y)? This basic question is what the theory of Rational Quadratic Forms is all about. The course gives an introduction and highlights fundamental te ...
MATH-735: Topics in geometric group theoryThe goal of this course/seminar is to introduce the students to some contemporary aspects of geometric group theory. Emphasis will be put on Artin's Braid groups and Thompson's groups. ...
