Mathematics
School of Sciences in Como

The goal of the program is to give students a solid background in all major areas of modern Mathematics and to train them to study and solve problems in the spheres of Physics, Engineering, Computer Science, Economics and Finance.

The three-year program (180 ECTS) is organized into two curricula, Pure and Applied Mathematics. The former is especially aimed at students who plan on pursuing a graduate degree, while the latter is designed for students who plan on entering the career market after obtaining their degree.

In the first year, which is common to both curricula, students acquire the necessary broad foundations in mathematics and basic programming skills. The second and third year contain a common core of subjects, where students strengthen their knowledge in modern mathematics. For the remainder, students in Pure Mathematics take up more specialized subjects from analysis, differential equations, geometry, and dynamical systems, and are trained in developing original and rigorous proofs. Students in Applied Mathematics focus on subjects such as statistics, financial mathematics, numerical analysis and computer science, and train in analyzing problems of practical origin in mathematical terms.
