General presentation

The activities of the Mathematics and Computer Science Department are threefold:

• The department is in charge of the fouryear Applied Mathematics and Social Sciences programme, with degrees after the second, third and fourth years. There are two branches, Economics (all four years) and History and Geography (first two years).

• The department is in charge of all teaching of mathematics and computer science in the University, and provides classes in many degree courses: Economics, Business Management, Public and Private Sector Management, Computing and Management, the Humanities, etc.

• The department is responsible for research in mathematics and computer science at the crossroads of areas for which the University is renowned and is in charge of four academic postgraduate degrees: Modelling and Mathematical Methods for Economics; Statistics and Random Models for Economics and Finance; Information, Interaction and Intelligence; and Mathematics, Computer Science and Human Science Applications.

The fact that the Mathematics and Computer Science Department is part of a university specialising in Economics, Business Management, Law and the Humanities means that, unlike traditional mathematics and computer science departments in science faculties, the Department has had to develop courses and areas of research corresponding to the needs of the host university.

Examples in the broad area of mathematics include optimisation, mathematical economics, control theory, decision theory and uncertainty (in common with computer scientists), probability and statistics, dynamics, mathematical finance, game theory, econometrics, data analysis. Examples in the broad area of computer science include information systems, data bases, combinatorial optimisation, operational research, etc.

These themes, some of which are rarely addressed in many science faculties, are underpinned by the fact that they provide an interface with other disciplines to be found at Paris 1, and in particular Economics and Business Management. They are expanding rapidly and will open the door to many different professional activities for our graduates.

Two research laboratories are attached to the Department: the CERMSEM (Research Centre in Mathematics, Statistics and Mathematical Economics) and the CRI (Computer Science Research Centre). A new laboratory working on mathematics and computer science, the Marin Mersenne Laboratory, will be opening soon. A number of researchers from the Department are in charge of research in other departments within the University.
