Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes
- Understand "elementary" mathematics profoundly
- Understand and use the naive set theory
- Understand basic algebraic structures
- Manipulate previously acquired knowledge that appears in a question
- Give examples and counterexamples for definitions, properties, theorems, etc.
- Understand and produce strict mathematical reasoning
- Write clearly and concisely
- Use mathematical vocabulary and formalism appropriately
- Make sense of formal expressions
- Collaborate on mathematical subjects
- Present mathematical results orally and in a structured manner
- Solve new problems
- Abstract and manipulate theories and use these to solve problems
- Address literature and interact within other scientific fields

Learning Outcomes of UE
Be comfortable with the basic notions of Model Theory and with solving simple exercices.
Content of UE
Lowenheim-Skolem theorems, elementary substructures, existentially closed ones. Model-complete theories, quantifier elimination (criteria for these properties). Algebraic examples for these notions. Back-and-forth and dense/discrete orders. Equivalence relations. Categoricity and Ryll-Nardweski theorem.
Prior Experience
It relies on the first course on model theory given by Christian Michaux.
