The area of Mathematics is characterized by four large macro research sectors:
1. Applied Partial Differential Equations
2. Continuum Mechanics Modeling
3. Numerical Methods
4. Probability and Statistical Mechanics
For each of the four areas we provide one “pillar” course covering a range of graduate-level topics. First year students are required to attend all four pillar courses and they are asked to pass the final qualifying examination for all of them. Each pillar course consists of 60 hours and starts the first week of November.
In the second part of the academic year we organize a number of short courses covering a broad range of different advanced topics. Participation to these courses is mandatory.
As part of the training programme, we also organize a biweekly Mathematics Colloquia seminar series, which usually take place every second Thursday and whose participation is mandatory as well. The purpose of the Colloquia is to expose the students to a range of active research topics within each macro sector and at their intersection, that are not (or are only partially) covered by the other courses offered at GSSI.
