MATH-422: Introduction à la géométrie riemannienneLa géométrie riemannienne est un (peut-être le) chapitre central de la géométrie différentielle et de la géométriec ontemporaine en général. Le sujet est très riche et ce cours est une modeste introduction aux bases du sujet. ...
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-526: Learning theoryMachine learning and data analysis are becoming increasingly central in many sciences and applications. This course concentrates on the theoretical underpinnings of machine learning. ...
CS-457: Geometric computingThis course will cover mathematical concepts and efficient numerical methods for geometric computing. We will explore the beauty of geometry and develop algorithms to simulate and optimize 2D and 3D geometric models with an emphasis towards computational d ...
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 ...
MATH-512: Optimization on manifoldsWe develop, analyze and implement numerical algorithms to solve optimization problems of the form min f(x) where x is a point on a smooth manifold. To this end, we first study differential and Riemannian geometry (with a focus dictated by computational con ...
PHYS-428: Relativity and cosmology IIThis course is the basic introduction to modern cosmology. It introduces students to the main concepts and formalism of cosmology, the observational status of Hot Big Bang theory
and discusses major physical processes in the early Universe. ...
