Student seminar - 2 ECTS

In this seminar, each student has to present to the class a little chapter, research article or modelization problem proposed by one of the teachers of the classes.

Scientific english - 3 ECTS -- 18h

This class will focus on oral and written comprehension/production of English with a strong emphasis on oral interaction. Students will be asked to do an oral presentation connected with their field of study; this presentation will lead to a debate in English between students. Additionally, we will work on other scientific themes, mainly through the prism of video and written documents. Students are required to attend class and to actively participate.

Technics for job search - 1 ECTS - 10h

Course under the responsability of Service d’Accompagnement en Orientation et Insertion (SAOI).

This module is made of two parts, each devoted to a recent research topic of the research laboratories CPT and IMATH.

Applied analysis - 5 ECTS -- 20h

Geometric control

(F. Chittaro) Controlability, optimal control.

Mathematical physics - 5 ECTS -- 20h

Topological methods in quantum physics.

(J. Asch) Gauss Bonnet Theorem; Poincaré Hopf Theorem ; Fredholm operators; Toeplitz operators, Fritz Noether Theorem; spectral properties and transport; Topological transport; Unitary models on lattices.

The Master thesis has to be written within 4 months' time. You can choose your advisor from one of the two research labs CPT (located on the campus of La Garde and on the campus of Luminy inMarseille) and IMATH  (located on the campus of La Garde), or from an exterior company.
