Program details

Overview

This specialisation spans both theoretical foundations and the algorithmic and applied sides of the field, with teaching tied directly to ongoing research. Its focus ranges across geometry and number theory, taking in discrete dynamical systems, analytic number theory, and arithmetic and algebraic geometry, with particular weight given to algebraic methods and to the computational side of the theory. A cryptology component runs alongside advanced courses in algebraic number theory and algebraic geometry. The track suits students seeking deep knowledge in one area of pure mathematics, built around two strong themes: algebra and number theory, and topology and geometry, and serves as a foundation for continuing into academic research, including a PhD.
