Master Program: Focus on Algebraic Methods in Analysis

Deep algebraic methods are used increasingly in various areas of analysis, in analytic number theory and in mathematical physics. As part of our master program, the Special Focus on Algebraic Methods in Analysis offers students a variety of courses introducing fundamental algebraic tools and their applications in analysis, number theory and mathematical physics. It starts in fall 2018.
