Research Project in Mathematics

It is intended that each student, with the help of his/her supervisor, study a recent topic/field of research in mathematics and its applications. This study leads to (i) the written Report (thesis proposal) and (ii) an oral presentation. The Report lays out the plan of the research, describing the state-of-the-art, the scientific foundations, the methodology to be used and the objectives that are expected to achieve.

Seminar

The students are expected to attend the regularly organised seminars given by the program's teaching staff and write a summary with discussion for part of these seminars.  Each student is also expected to choose one of the research themes proposed on these seminars and prepare a talk on that subject, under the advice and guidance of a supervisor of his/her choice.
