ALGANT in Paris-Sud , Orsay
Established in 2004, the ALGANT consortium now consists of eight
universities on four continents, namely the universities of Bordeaux
(France), Chennai (India), Leiden (Netherlands), Milano (Italy),
Concordia (Montréal, Canada), Padova (Italy), Paris-Sud 11 (Orsay, France) and Stellenbosch (South Africa).
Very basic information
In the Department of
Mathematics of Orsay at the
University
Paris-Sud 11 , there are no specific courses for the Algant students.
Here the two years of the Master program are clearly separated and
quite different in their organization and in their levels.
Students should be aware that presently all courses at the M1
level, and most of the M2 courses are given in French. Some
French language courses are proposed to the students during the year, but
some prior basic level of understanding of (at least) mathematical french is
highly recommended
Students coming to Orsay for their first year of the program will be
registered in the M1
Mathématiques Fondamentales et Appliquées (MFA) Program.
Those coming to Orsay for their second year will be registered in the
M2 Analyse
Arithmétique et Géométrie Program.
