Program Objectives
The Advanced Mathematics major within the master year 1 Mathematics and Applicationsoffers a rigorous program in the fields of analysis and probability. It is primarily intended for students who wish to pursue a Master's degree in research and then move on to academic or industrial research.
Built on a foundation of required courses in analysis (optimization, functional analysis, calculus of variations) and probability (discrete and continuous processes) — some of which are shared with the Actuarial Science and Statistics major— the program offers a selection of electives that provide exposure to geometry and dynamical systems, statistics, machine learning, numerical methods, or partial differential equations.
Students are also introduced to fundamental or applied research through a year-long group project supervised by a faculty member, culminating in the writing of a thesis.
Nearly all lectures and tutorials are conducted in English, and a fully English-language track is available.
Training objectives :
- Gain a solid foundation in applied mathematics, particularly in analysis and probability
- Explore the research process in mathematics and engage with open and current problems
- Foster an openness to other areas of mathematics (statistics, dynamical systems, machine learning, partial differential equations).
When you enroll in a Master's program, you also join Université PSL. Ranked in the top 50 universities in the world (THE and QS), PSL offers excellent graduate programs at the Master's and PhD level, which benefit from the scientific capabilities of its member institutions. The degree is prepared at Université Paris Dauphine-PSL and awarded by Université PSL.

The challenges of the ecological and social transition in the Master's degree programs
Several courses and tools are offered to students in the Master’s program, regardless of their specialization
- “Ecological Transition and Social Responsibility” Certificate
- “Dauphine Durable” SPOC A common base of knowledge in the areas of ethics, social responsibility and sustainable development. It tackles the basics of CSR: control, human resources, finance, marketing, strategy, climate issues and the environmental transition.
- “Managing SDGs” SPOC A unique learning experience in which students from multiple countries work together on real-life case studies.
- Virtual University of the Environment and Sustainable Development At PSL, Dauphine is a founding member of Université Virtuelle Environnement et Développement durable (Virtual University of the Environment and Sustainable Development), which allows it to provide its students with a set of resources and MOOCs.
