Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

  • Have integrated and elaborate mathematical knowledge.
    • Mobilise the Bachelor's course in mathematics to address complex issues and have profound mathematical expertise to complement the knowledge developed in the Bachelor's course.
    • Use prior knowledge to independently learn high-level mathematics.
    • Research mathematical literature in an efficient and relevant way.
    • Read research articles in at least one discipline of mathematics.
  • Apply innovative methods to solve an unprecedented problem in mathematics or within its applications.
    • Mobilise knowledge, and research and analyse various information sources to propose innovative solutions targeted unprecedented issues.
    • Appropriately make use of computer tools, as required by developing a small programme.

Learning Outcomes of UE

- Model a system using a Markov chain and determine its behavior;  
- propose a solution to deal with a queuing system. 

Content of UE

In this class, we analyze different stochastic models from operational reasearch. In particular, we focus on Markov chains and their applications (PageRank of Google, Queing systems, etc.).
