Course units

Depending on the major you will choose, whether Data Science or Mathematical Informatics, you will be able to choose your courses units:

In the first semester:

• 1 Humanities course (English, communication)
• 5 courses within your major
• 2 courses within your minor

In the second semester:

• 1 Humanities course
• 1 Research embedding course (initiation to research, project in a laboratory, conferences, summer school…)
• 5 courses within your major
• 1 course within your minor

In the third semester:

• 1 Research embedding course
• 5 courses within your major
• 1 course within your minor

In the fourth semester, you will have to:

• Attend 1 Research embedding course
• Do an internship

As a student of the Grad’School following the master’s degree of Mathematics, your will attend Mathematics courses as your major, and Data Science courses as your minor.

In Caen, in Year 1, the Mathematical Informatics major offers the following courses:

• Algebra
• Algorithm
• Function space
• Functional analysis
• Complex analysis
• Field extension
• Differential geometry
• Group theory
• Probabilities
• Computer algebra system (Sagemath software)

In Year 2, you will go deeper into these concepts to prepare the Agrégation of Mathematics. Once you have chosen a specialisation, you can also pursue doctoral studies in all fields of mathematics.

Besides, during the first 3 semesters of the master’s degree, you will attend other courses within the Grad’School programme, in Data Science mostly, as well as transversal courses:

• English
• Communication
• Conferences
• Introduction to scientific research methods (2nd semester)

In the 4th semester, a supervised project will complete your training.
