Core Courses For the Master's degree in Applied Mathematics the following additional condition (not manifest in myStudies) must be obeyed: At least 15 of the required 28 credits from core courses and electives must be acquired in areas of applied mathematics and further application-oriented fields. | ||||||
(also Bachelor) Core Courses: Pure Mathematics Further restrictions apply, but in particular: 401-3531-00L Differential Geometry I can only be recognised for the Master Programme if 401-3532-00L Differential Geometry II has not been recognised for the Bachelor Programme. Analogously for: 401-3461-00L Functional Analysis I - 401-3462-00L Functional Analysis II 401-3001-61L Algebraic Topology I - 401-3002-12L Algebraic Topology II 401-3132-00L Commutative Algebra - 401-3146-12L Algebraic Geometry 401-3371-00L Dynamical Systems I - 401-3372-00L Dynamical Systems II For the category assignment take contact with the Study Administration Office (Link) after having received the credits. | ||||||

401-3461-00L | Functional Analysis I This course counts as a core course in the Bachelor's degree programme in Mathematics. Holders of an ETH Zurich Bachelor's degree in Mathematics who didn't use credits from neither 401-3461-00L Functional Analysis I nor 401-3462-00L Functional Analysis II for their Bachelor's degree still can have recognised this course for the Master's degree. Furthermore, at most one of the three course units 401-3461-00L Functional Analysis I 401-3531-00L Differential Geometry I 401-3601-00L Probability Theory can be recognised for the Master's degree in Mathematics or Applied Mathematics. | W | 10 credits | 4V + 1U | M. Struwe | |
