MATH-512: Optimization on manifoldsWe develop, analyze and implement numerical algorithms to solve optimization problems of the form min f(x) where x is a point on a smooth manifold. To this end, we first study differential and Riemann
MATH-479: Linear algebraic groupsThe aim of the course is to give an introduction to linear algebraic groups and to give an insight into a beautiful subject that combines algebraic geometry with group theory.
ME-474: Numerical flow simulationThis course provides practical experience in the numerical simulation of fluid flows. Numerical methods are presented in the framework of the finite volume method. A simple solver is developed with Ma
MATH-494: Topics in arithmetic geometryP-adic numbers are a number theoretic analogue of the real numbers, which interpolate between arithmetics, analysis and geometry. In this course we study their basic properties and give various applic
MATH-189: MathematicsCe cours a pour but de donner les fondements de mathématiques nécessaires à l'architecte contemporain évoluant dans une école polytechnique.
MATH-658: Vanishing cycles and perverse sheavesThis course will explain the theory of vanishing cycles and perverse sheaves. We will see how the Hard Lefschetz theorem can be proved using perverse sheaves. If we have more time we will try to see t
MATH-657: Deformation TheoryWe will study classical and modern deformation theory of schemes and coherent sheaves. Participants should have a solid background in scheme-theory, for example being familiar with the first 3 chapter
MATH-643: Applied l-adic cohomologyIn this course we will describe in numerous examples how methods from l-adic cohomology as developed by Grothendieck, Deligne and Katz can interact with methods from analytic number theory (prime numb
