Mathematics

What is the objective of the course? What is it?
What does it train you for?

The Master's Degree in Mathematics is the natural continuation of the Bachelor degree in Mathematics.

The aim of the program is to train graduates who possess in-depth theoretical, methodological and applied knowledge in the fundamental areas of mathematics and have communication skills even with non-experts.

The program includes various optional examinations that can indulge the cultural interests of the individual student.

In particular, the student can choose a path in pure mathematics, having in mind to apply for a Ph.D. fellowship, or the modeling-application and computer science fields may be emphasized.

In any case, the cultural and methodological deepening of the master degree allows the graduates to work even in fields that are not strictly scientific in which flexible mentality, project and managerial skills are required.

The access to the program is free.

At the beginning of each a.y. the Council appoints a committee that evaluates the personal preparation of students who intend to enroll.

This committee checks on the personal preparation of the students, focusing on basic topics of algebra, geometry, mathematical analysis and mathematical physics.

For students coming from a Bachelor Degree in Mathematics, the last check is considered automatically fulfilled.

The possession of suitable English language skills of B1 level is also verified.

What do you learn?

The Master's Degree in Mathematics includes 5 compulsory courses in algebra, mathematical analysis, geometry, mathematical physics and history of Mathematics, then it provides the choice of optional courses depending on the interests of the individual student.

The knowledge in one or more areas of pure mathematics may be emphasized; the applied content of mathematics may be studied; or the foundations of mathematics and teaching methodologies may be deepened.

The curriculum is structured as follows: FIRST YEAR

• Superior Algebra (9 CFU) - Superior Analysis (9 CFU) - Differential Equations of Mathematical Physics (9 CFU) - History of Mathematics (6 CFU) - 2 Optional Courses (12 CFU) - English language skills (3 CFU) - Other educational activities (12 CFU)
• SECOND YEAR. Topological Groups and Lie Groups (9 CFU) - 4 Optional Courses (24 CFU) - Other knowledge useful for entering the world of work (3 CFU) - Final Examination (24 CFU) 6CFU OPTIONAL COURSES - Noncommutative Algebra - Nonlinear Analysis - Numerical Calculus - Complements of Mathematical Analysis - mathematics Didactics and Teaching Methodology - Mathematical Physics - Physics - Laboratory - Algebraic Geometry - Mathematical Methods and Models for Applications - Uncertain Reasoning and Probability - Theory of Codes and Cryptography - Representation Theory - Theories and Techniques of Images Analysis.

What can you do with it?

Graduates in Mathematics can pursue professional activities in various fields.

They can work with profit and satisfaction in banks, financial and insurance companies, or in companies and firms in applied fields.

They can enter research either at the university, through PhD courses, or in other public or private research centers.

They can engage in the field of dissemination of scientific culture or in public administration.

They can also teach in schools of various orders, according to the regulations currently in force.
