Barcelona Graduate School of Mathematicsʼ first courses start in September
The first courses for PhD students of the Barcelona Graduate School of Mathematics (BGSMath) start in September. BGSMath is an initiative promoted by the Faculty of Mathematics of the UB, the Department of Mathematics of the UAB, the School of Mathematics and Statistics of the UPC and the Centre for Mathematical Research (CRM), and supported by the Institute of Mathematics of the UB. Course are a high quality research PhD training aimed at providing national research and education in mathematics with international visibility and attracting doctoral researchers to Catalonia. Two courses take place in the fall semester: one in dynamical systems, a subject area which can be applied to celestial mechanics and astrodynamics, and another entitled Random structures and the probabilistic method, which has contents to be applied to statistical physics, computer science and some mathematical areas.

These inter-university courses combine resources of all the centres which offer doctoral studies in Mathematics in Catalonia. Fall semester courses take place at UPC. The course on dynamical systems will deal with the study of discrete and continuous dynamical systems; it will also include some examples on expert issues such as chaos, ergodic theory and normal forms. The course Random structures and the probabilistic method will analyse random structures and processes to derive results about deterministic structures. Some models will be also discussed, for example random graphs and Markov chains. Courses are addressed to PhD students who hold a master's degree and are developing their thesis research. In the spring semester, two new courses will be offered: Homology in algebra and geometry and Partial differential equations. In this case, courses will take place at the University of Barcelona.
