CS-455: Topics in theoretical computer scienceThe students gain an in-depth knowledge of several current and emerging areas of theoretical computer science. The course familiarizes them with advanced techniques, and develops an understanding of f
MATH-329: Continuous optimizationThis course introduces students to continuous, nonlinear optimization. We study the theory of optimization with continuous variables (with full proofs), and we analyze and implement important algorith
CS-433: Machine learningMachine learning methods are becoming increasingly central in many sciences and applications. In this course, fundamental principles and methods of machine learning will be introduced, analyzed and pr
MATH-467: Probabilistic methods in combinatoricsThe 'probabilistic method' is a fundamental tool in combinatorics. The basic idea is as follows: to prove that an object (for example, graph) with certain properties exists, it suffices to prove that
PHYS-426: Quantum physics IVIntroduction to the path integral formulation of quantum mechanics. Derivation of the perturbation expansion of Green's functions in terms of Feynman diagrams. Several applications will be presented,
ME-443: Hydroacoustic for hydropower plantsIntroduction to pressure wave propagation phenomena in hydraulic circuits, water hammer calculations, transient behaviour of hydroelectric plants, 1D numerical simulation of the dynamic behaviour of F
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
COM-502: Dynamical system theory for engineersLinear and nonlinear dynamical systems are found in all fields of science and engineering. After a short review of linear system theory, the class will explain and develop the main tools for the quali
