Applied and Theoretical Mathematics - Master's Year 2

Program Objectives

The master in Applied and Theoretical Mathematics is an advanced one-year training which prepares students for a doctorate in mathematics in one of the following fields :

  • Analysis of partial differential equations
  • Control and numerical analysis
  • Probability and statistical mechanics
  • Interface of analysis and probability
  • Geometry and dynamical systems
  • High-dimensional statistics and geometrical inference

Our master is also adapted for students with a background in physics who aim at acquiring the key tools for the mathematical modelling of physical phenomena. In particular, thanks to a partnership with the ICFP Master in Physics of ENS, we offer the possibility to follow some courses in the physics department of ENS and to validate a minor in physics.
This program can also lead directly to the job market: after graduation, our students can get into the industrial research and development sector.
We provide individual guidance aimed at helping each student to make the most of our extensive program offer and to find a suitable master thesis director. International students are very welcome. Most courses are taught in English and a full curriculum in English is possible.
This program is based in particular on the research teams in mathematics at CEREMADE (Université Paris Dauphine PSL) and DMA (ENS PSL), as well as at École des Mines Paris PSL , at Observatoire de Paris PSL, at the EHESS, and Collège de France.
The Master is part of the Graduate Program in Mathematics  at  PSL Research University, and it benefits from an exceptional environment for studying mathematics : in 2023, in mathemacics, PSL Research University is ranked 12th in the Shangai ranking, 7th in the US News ranking and 12th in the QS ranking.
