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-404: Functional analysis IIWe introduce locally convex vector spaces. As an example we treat the space of test functions and the space of distributions. In the second part of the course, we discuss differential calculus in Banach spaces and some elements from nonlinear functional an ...
COM-502: Dynamical system theory for engineersLinear and nonlinear dynamical systems are found in all fields of science and engineering. After a short review of linear system theory, the class will explain and develop the main tools for the qualitative analysis of nonlinear systems, both in discrete-t ...
PHYS-512: Statistical physics of computationThe students understand tools from the statistical physics of disordered systems, and apply them to study computational and statistical problems in graph theory, discrete optimisation, inference and machine learning. ...
PHYS-101(a): General physics : mechanicsLe but du cours de physique générale est de donner à l'étudiant les notions de base nécessaires à la compréhension des phénomènes physiques. L'objectif est atteint lorsque l'étudiant est capable de prévoir quantitativement les conséquences de ces phénomène ...
MATH-225: Topology II - fundamental groupsOn étudie des notions de topologie générale: unions et quotients d'espaces topologiques; on approfondit les notions de revêtements et de groupe fondamental,et d'attachements de cellules et on démontre le Théorème de Seifert-van Kampen. Des exemples de surf ...
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 ...
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. ...
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. ...
BIO-341: Dynamical systems in biologyLife is non-linear. This course introduces dynamical systems as a technique for modelling simple biological processes. The emphasis is on the qualitative and numerical analysis of non-linear dynamical models. Examples are taken from biology and population ...
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-460: Nonlinear dynamics, chaos and complex systemsThe course provides students with the tools to approach the study of nonlinear systems and chaotic dynamics. Emphasis is given to concrete examples and numerical applications are carried out during the exercise sessions. ...
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. ...
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 ...
MATH-323: Topology III - HomologyHomology is one of the most important tools to study topological spaces and it plays an important role in many fields of mathematics. The aim of this course is to introduce this notion, understand its properties and learn how to compute it. There will be m ...
