  The aim of the course is to provide students with efficient tools to study linear operators between infinite dimensional vector spaces. In particular, this class will deal with normed vector spaces, Banach and Hilbert spaces, with bounded linear operators on normed vector spaces, fundamental principles such as Fourier analysis, Lebesgue integral, Han-Banach Theorem, Uniform Boundedness Principle or Closed Graph Theorem, and with spectral theory of compact (self-adjoint) linear operators.\u00a0                        <\/p>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Course learning outcomes<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        Students will acquire a solid understanding of functional analysis, its fundamental results and basic techniques. In particular, students will understand applications to measure theory, Fourier theory, and the spectral theorem for (unbounded) operators. Students will know the relevance of a theorem, its underlying motivation and a precise idea of its proof. Hopefully, students will demonstrate capacity for mathematical reasoning through analyzing, proving and explaining concepts from functional analysis.\u00a0                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Description<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        Functional analysis aims to study infinite-dimensional spaces of functions and features of linear operators on these spaces. Though, from the point of view of Mathematics, functional analysis has its own interest, it plays a crucial role in many related areas, in particular in Physics, Engineering or Finance. Roughly speaking, most \u201creal-life problems\u201d involve non-linear partial differential equations with infinite-dimensional solution spaces of functions (or distributions).

This will allow the students to acquire familiarity with some ubiquitous tools from complex geometry, such as the Riemann-Roch theorem.\u00a0<br>We will put some focus on examples along the way. If time allows, we will see how some constructions from the complex analytic theory can be reinterpreted in the language of modern algebraic geometry, bridging the gap between the two worlds, and we will touch some more advanced topics that could inspire the students\u2019 further work.<br>The course will mostly follow the first chapters of the book by R.

The Student Project offers the student the opportunity to improve this skill by allowing them to work on a well-defined and well chosen project, either individually or as a team, under the guidance of a researcher.<br>The Student Project consists of project work that is carried out under the supervision of a researcher. The work is either individual or group work. At the beginning of the project, supervisor and student(s) define tasks to be carried out by the student(s), corresponding to the volume of 100 working hours (4 ECTS) for each student. The student(s) need to submit the planned topic to the course responsible for approval at the latest on 15 October (Student Project 1,3) or 15 March (Student Project 2). The project outcome is a pdf document written by the student(s). Additional outcomes (such as computer code, images, videos) can be asked for. The required outcome has to be handed in on Moodle at the latest on 31 December (Student Project 1,3) or 31 May (Student Project 2). The project file will undergo an automatic plagiarism and AI check.<br>                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Assessment<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        The students are marked for their project work.<br>In the case of a retake exam, a new project has to be done.

class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        <p>Topology is a field of mathematics that deals with the fundamental properties of spaces. In the topological world, two spaces are considered identical if they can be continuously transformed into one another or more generally, if they are related by what topologists call homotopy equivalence. For example, a sphere and a pyramid are identical, as are a donut and a coffee cup\u2026 A main goal is therefore to classify spaces up to homotopy equivalence.<\/p><p>Algebraic topology uses algebraic methods to solve this and other topological problems. An important method is the search for algebraic homotopy invariants. In particular, we try to assign an algebraic object such as a group to each topological space and to prove that this group is invariant if we replace the space with a homotopy equivalent space. One of the proofs of the fundamental theorem of algebra uses an algebraic invariant.<\/p><p>The main homotopy invariants we discuss are the \u2018singular homology functor\u2019 and the \u2018homotopy functor\u2019. An amazing result called the Hurewicz isomorphism, shows that the first singular homology group and the (abelianized) first homotopy group of a space are two variants of the same information. Van Kampen&#8217;s theorem allows us to practice our understanding of category theory and to compute homotopy groups of larger spaces from those of smaller spaces from which they are constructed. The final chapter will highlight the relationship between the coverings of a space and subgroups of its first homotopy group.<\/p><p>The objective is to allow the student to familiarize himself with a very active field of mathematics, with broad applications throughout science. Beyond this goal, special emphasizes will be put on the Mathematical Method, i.e., the optimal technique to learn and apply mathematics. This method is the most important of the objectives of any study program in mathematics.<\/p><p>Fundamental concepts of homological algebra<br>Chain complexes, chain maps, chain homotopies, homology

                      This course is an introduction to the numerical solution of partial differential equations (PDEs). It contains a theoretical part setting the mathematical foundations necessary for some important numerical methods used to obtain solutions to some classical PDEs, in particular the finite element method and the finite difference method.\u00a0<br>The theoretical part of the course is supported by the development of a one-dimensional Galerkin finite element code for the Poisson problem and a one-dimensional finite difference code for a scalar hyperbolic transport problem.<br>We largely follow the reference [Qua09] which is available via the National Library\u2019s Website as well as on some less official websites. In particular, we cover the contents of [Qua09, Chapters 1, 2, 3, 4, and 14].                        <\/p>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Description<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        <p>A brief survey of partial differential equations<br>This chapter briefly introduces the notion of linear PDEs and their classification into elliptic, parabolic and hyperbolic equations. We mention some classical examples, mainly issued from physics and engineering, such as the transport equation, the Laplace equation, the heat equation and the wave equation.<br><\/p><p>Elements of functional analysis<br>We introduce the main notions and theoretical results of functional analysis that are extensively used in the numerical analysis of partial differential equations. We consider the Riesz representation theorem regarding representation of continuous linear forms on a Hilbert space, and we survey the notions of bilinear form, of continuous injection of a Hilbert space into another, the notion of derivative in the sense of Fr\u00e9chet, some elements of the theory of distributions, the basic properties of the Lebesgue and Sobolev spaces, and the notion of adjoint operator.<\/p><p>Elliptic equations<br>We illustrate boundary-value problems for elliptic equations (in one and several dimensions), present their variational reformulations, treat the boundary conditions and analyze their well-posedness. Several examples of physical interest are introduced, in particular the Poisson equation, starting with the one-dimensional case, for various boundary conditions. We consider some variational formulations of these problems, and then turn to the boundary-value problems associated to the Poisson equation in the two-dimensional case. We establish that under some regularity condition the weak formulation is equivalent to the strong one. For general elliptic problems, the Lax-Milgram theorem ensures that the weak formulation is well-posed.<\/p><p>The Galerkin finite element method for elliptic problems<br>We formulate Galerkin\u2019s method for the numerical discretization of elliptic boundaryvalue problems and analyze its existence, uniqueness, stability and convergence features in an abstract functional setting. We then introduce the Galerkin finite elements method, first in one dimension, and then in several dimensions.<\/p><p>The Galerkin finite element method \u2013 a numerical example<br>This section introduces students to the development of a one-dimensional Galerkin finite element solver for the Poisson problem using Python. We focus on building the solver within a provided Jupyter notebook, providing hands-on experience with the computational and algorithmic aspects of the finite element method.<\/p><p>Finite differences for hyperbolic equations<br>The aim of this final chapter is to study classical finite differences methods for approximating solutions of first-order hyperbolic equations. We start with exposing some hyperbolic equations starting with the scalar transport problem in one dimension which we analyze by the method of characteristics. We also establish an a priori estimate by the energy method. We then turn to systems of linear hyperbolic equations in one dimension and give the example of the wave equation. Then we introduce the finite difference method, together with its variants: the forward\/centered Euler scheme, the Lax-Friedrichs scheme, the Lax-Wendroff scheme, in the case of the scalar transport problem, before to move to more general cases, for which we analyze the consistency, stability, convergence, dissipation and dispersion properties of the finite difference methods.<\/p>Finite differences \u2013 a numerical example<br>This section introduces students to the development of a one-dimensional finite difference solver for a hyperbolic transport problem using Python.

The work is either individual or group work. Group work needs the explicit approval of the Study Director. At the beginning of the project, supervisor and student(s) define tasks to be carried out by the student(s), corresponding to the volume of 100 working hours (4 ECTS). The student(s) need to notify the Study Director of the project and the tasks at the latest on 15 March. The project outcome is a pdf document written by the student. Additional outcomes (such as computer code, images, videos) can be asked for. The required outcome has to be handed in on Moodle at the latest on 31 May. The project file will undergo an automatic plagiarism check.                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Assessment<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        The students are marked for their project work.

The objective of this course is to familiarize students with microeconometric models and methods that are widely used in economics, finance, and social science research. We will focus on linear models. Nonlinear models are covered in a subsequent course.<br>On completion of the course unit successful students will be able to:<br> Have a good understanding of some widely used econometric models and techniques used by economists to answer policy related questions<br> Understand how these models are identified, estimated, and tested, how the asymptotic distributions of the various estimators and test statistics are obtained, and the fundamental assumptions underlying these results. This will not only enable the students to process and interpret empirical data and test whether they are in accordance with economic theory, but should also help them read, understand, and critically evaluate the econometrics articles in peer-reviewed journals encountered during the course of their own research.<br>                        <\/p>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Description<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        <p>COURSE CONTENT<br>1.

thorough introduction and overview on the most important concepts from Bayesian inference, starting with the Bayesian philosophy in contrast to frequentist statistics. We will discuss various choices of prior distributions, Bayesian inference, Bayesian modelling, model checking and comparison (in particular introducing the concept of Bayes factor), and advanced computation. The latter aspect will especially be dealt with in the practicals, where Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods shall be treated.                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Assessment<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        First session<br>Written exam with open questions, both theory and exercises, in particular there will be computational exercises<br>Retake exam<br>Written exam with open questions, both theory and exercises, in particular there will be computational exercises                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Note<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        <p><br>Note \/ Literature \/ Bibliography\u00a0<br><\/p><br><ul><br><li>Box, GEP and Tiao, GC (1992) Bayesian Inference in Statistical Analysis.

project, either individually or as part of a team, is one of the key skills expected of a mathematician, in and outside academia. The Student Project offers the student the opportunity to improve this skill by allowing them to work on a well-defined and well chosen project, either individually or as a team, under the guidance of a researcher.<br>The Student Project consists of project work that is carried out under the supervision of a researcher. The work is either individual or group work. At the beginning of the project, supervisor and student(s) define tasks to be carried out by the student(s), corresponding to the volume of 100 working hours (4 ECTS) for each student. The student(s) need to submit the planned topic to the course responsible for approval at the latest on 15 October (Student Project 1,3) or 15 March (Student Project 2). The project outcome is a pdf document written by the student(s). Additional outcomes (such as computer code, images, videos) can be asked for. The required outcome has to be handed in on Moodle at the latest on 31 December (Student Project 1,3) or 31 May (Student Project 2). The project file will undergo an automatic plagiarism and AI check.<br><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p>                    <\/div>\n                <\/li>\n                \n                \n                                <li class=\"list-highlighted__item items-start\">\n                    <header class=\"list-highlighted__header\">\n                        <h5 class=\"text-18\"><strong>Assessment<\/strong><\/h5>\n                    <\/header>\n                    <div class=\"list-highlighted__body\">\n                        <p><br>First session<br>The students are marked for their project work.
