ME-422: Multivariable controlThis course covers methods for the analysis and control of systems with multiple inputs and outputs, which are ubiquitous in modern technology and industry. Special emphasis will be placed on discrete
MATH-437: Calculus of variationsIntroduction to classical Calculus of Variations and a selection of modern techniques. The Calculus of Variations aims at showing the existence of minimisers (or critical points) of functionals that n
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.
MATH-506: Topology IV.b - cohomology ringsSingular cohomology is defined by dualizing the singular chain complex for spaces. We will study its basic properties, see how it acquires a multiplicative structure and becomes a graded commutative a
PHYS-423: Plasma IFollowing an introduction of the main plasma properties, the fundamental concepts of the fluid and kinetic theory of plasmas are introduced. Applications concerning laboratory, space, and astrophysica
MATH-414: Stochastic simulationThe student who follows this course will get acquainted with computational tools used to analyze systems with uncertainty arising in engineering, physics, chemistry, and economics. Focus will be on s
CS-320: Computer language processingWe teach the fundamental aspects of analyzing and interpreting computer languages, including the techniques to build compilers. You will build a working compiler from an elegant functional language in
MATH-489: Number theory II.c - CryptographyThe goal of the course is to introduce basic notions from public key cryptography (PKC) as well as basic number-theoretic methods and algorithms for cryptanalysis of protocols and schemes based on PKC
MGT-418: Convex optimizationThis course introduces the theory and application of modern convex optimization from an engineering perspective.
