By the end of the course the student will have strengthened the disciplinary knowledge useful in undertaking a Master in mathematics or in closely related fields.

In particular, he will be capable of :

  • choosing and using the fundamental methods and tools of calculation to solve mathematical problems;
  • recognise the fundamental concepts of important current mathematical theories. The student will have developed his capacity for abstract thought and his critical spirit and will in particular be able to:
    • argue within the context of the axiomatic method. 
    • identify the key arguments and the structure of a proof, and also construct a proof independently.
    • evaluate the rigour of a mathematical or logical argument and identify any possible flaws in it.
