Study programme 2013-2014

Teaching and training



 The Applied Mathematics degree will provide students with the competencies and expertise required in mathematical engineering. They will learn to design, analyse and implement mathematical models to be applied to complex systems of the industrial or corporate world, and to create efficient strategies to optimize their performance. Throughout their training, students will acquire both the theoretical and methodological tools which will be implemented in all fields of engineering, as well as in other walks of life in society, such as economics, environmental sciences or life sciences. The Master degree in Applied mathematics engineering is characterized by its great flexibility in setting up students’ curriculum: half of the latter will be made up of elective courses. In particular, students are offered a wide spectrum of eleven coherent course modules (called « options »), some of these focussing on basic disciplines of applied mathematics (Optimization and operations research, Systems and control, Discrete mathematics and computer science), others relating to associated application fields (Financial mathematics, Information and signal processing, Biomedical engineering, Modelling and simulation of physical phenomena, Statistics), the remainder pertaining more specifically to the world of economics (Management, Economics and econometrics, Launching of small and medium-sized companies).
