Giordano Favi

Expertise Research: Non associative Algebra, Category Theory, Triangulated Category Theory, Balmer-Witt Theory,  Quadratic Forms in Characteristic 2, Galois Theory, Essential dimension, Tensor Triangular GeometryTeaching:  Algebra (Associative, Linear, Commutative or not),  Differential Calculus , Algebraic Geometry/Topology, etc. Travail en cours Teaching: My current work at EPFL is half time dedicated to teaching mathematics for 1st year students. It is very important to give satisfactory introductory courses to first year students: future engineers need solid basis in mathematics and that is the purpose of my courses.I also share with passion my vision of mathematics which is a beautiful tool for expressing elaborate constructions by supervising semestre projects in Category Theory.Research: Categorical Topology, (Higher) Category Theory, Topos Theory, Tensor Triangular Geometry, Essential Dimension, Number Theory, Logic, Applications of Category Theory to non mathematical problems. Mission My vision in teaching mathematics is to provide simple explanations for complex concepts. I also like to explain mathematical theories using analogy and comparison with everyday examples. Enseignement et PhD Cours Algèbre linéaire MATH-111(d) L'objectif du cours est d'introduire les notions de base de l'algèbre linéaire et ses applications.
