This lecture introduces the Mathematics Special Course (CMS) at EPFL, serving as a bridge for students with non-traditional backgrounds to access Bachelor studies. The course aims to strengthen basic science skills, familiarize students with EPFL's culture, and help them decide on further education. The instructor, François Genoud, shares his journey from a literature background to becoming the CMS Director. The importance of mathematics in engineering is emphasized, highlighting its role as the natural language of physics. The lecture also covers the semester's program, course organization, evaluation criteria, and practical information for students. It concludes with a message of encouragement for students to enjoy their mathematical exploration.
