Master - Mathematics and Applications

Program Objectives

The Master's in Applied Mathematics offers a wide range of courses covering a broad spectrum of disciplines, from fundamental mathematics to applied mathematics.

The first year of the Master's in Mathematics and Applications is structured around two majors : https://dauphine.psl.eu/formations/masters/mathematiques-et-applications/1re-annee-de-master-majeure-actuariatActuarial Science and https://dauphine.psl.eu/en/training/masters-degrees/mathematics-and-applied-mathematics/advanced-mathematics-major-masters-1st-yearAdvanced Mathematics. The program is based on a foundation of core courses, supplemented by courses specific to each major and optional units that allow for progressive specialization.

Each of these majors is linked to the various second-year Master's programs (Master 2), thus promoting a coherent and well-prepared orientation. In addition, the structure of the program guarantees real flexibility in the construction of academic and professional projects, thanks to the possibility of personalizing the course of study.
