As a first step, the students get familiar with basic tools of logic, set theory (set operations and properties), relations and functions. Emphasis is given to notions such as collections and families (coverings) bounds (max, min, sup, inf) as well as to images and pre-images of sets under functions. Part of the kernel of the course is a detailed axiomatic construction of the real numbers aiming that the students acknowledge this set as result of an axiomatic construction rather than of an empiric approach, yet the value and the significancy of the axiomatic foundation of mathematical structures be apparent. In the section concerning cardinality of sets, besides arithmetic of finite sets, students classify types of infinite sets (finite, numerable, denumerable) and approach in an abstract way the notion of infinity in relation with sets in common use as the sets of naturals, integers, rationals, and reals. A major course learning outcome is that assimilation of the offered knowledge will create a good qualitative background so that students be able to proceed with adequacy to studying other branches of mathematics.

The main purpose of the course is the study of the structure and basic properties of natural numbers, and more generally of integers. This study is based on the fundamental concept of divisibility of integers, and the (unique) factorization of a natural number into prime factors. The most important ideas, concepts and results that allow us to understand the structure and fundamental properties of all positive integers with respect to divisibility, are as follows (Keywords of course): Divisibility, prime numbers, Euclidean algorithm, greatest common divisor and least common multiple. Congruences and systems of congruences, Chinese remainder theorem. Arithmetical functions and Moebius inversion formula. Euler’s φ-function. Theorems of Fermat, Euler and Wilson. Primitive mod p roots. Theory of indices and quadratic residues. Law of quadratic reciprocity. Applications to cryptosystems. We will formulate and prove several theorems concerning the structure of all integers through the concept of divisibility. During the course will analyse applications of Number Theory to other sciences, and particularly to Cryptography. This course is an introduction to the basic results, the basic methods, and the basic problems of elementary number theory, and requires no special knowledge of other subjects of the curriculum. At the end of the course we expect the student to (a) have understood the definitions and basic theorems concerning the divisibility structure of the integers which are discussed in the course, (b) to have understood how they are applied in discrete examples, (c) to be able to apply the material in order to extract new elementary conclusions, and finally (d) to perform some (no so obvious) calculations.

General Competences

The course aims to enable the undergraduate student to acquire the ability to analyse and synthesize basic knowledge of the theory of numbers, to apply basic examples in other areas, and in particular to solve concrete problems concerning properties of numbers occurring in everyday life. The contact of the undergraduate student with the ideas and concepts of number theory, (a) promotes the creative, analytical and deductive thinking and the ability to work independently, (b) improves his critical thinking and his ability to apply abstract knowledge in various field.

Syllabus

• Complex numbers.
• Divisibility.

The aim of this course is to provide with a comprehensive understanding of the basic definitions of probability and the basic principles and laws of probability theory. Further, the introduction to the concepts of the random variable and the distribution function, as well as, their characteristics, such as the mean, variance, moments, moment generating function, etc., is included in the main aims of the course. Special distributions, such as binomial, geometric, Pascal, Poisson, uniform, exponential, gamma, normal distribution, etc. are studied and their use and application is indicated. The course is compulsory, it is of an entry-level and it aims to develop skills that help the students to understand, design and exploit stochastic models to describe real problems. At the end of the course the students is expected to be able to: Exploit and apply the classical and empirical definition of probability in order to calculate probabilities, by using combinatorial analysis. Utilize the axiomatic foundation of the concept of probability and use it in order to derive and prove probabilistic laws and properties. Understand and utilize classical probabilistic laws as the multiplicative theorem, the total probability theorem, Bayes’ formula, and independence for modeling respective problems. Emphasis is given to the use of interdisciplinary problems which are modeled by the application of the above probabilistic rules. Understand the necessity of introducing and studying the concept of random variable, its characteristics (mean, variance, etc.) and the corresponding probability distribution. Special discrete and continuous distributions are defined and utilized for the description, analysis and study real problems from different areas (lifetime distributions, reliability etc.).

The course aims to introduce the students to the study algebraic properties of sets which are equipped with one or more (binary) operations. Such mathematical objects are called algebraic structures. We will mainly deal with two types of algebraic structures: Groups. The standard example is the group of permutations of a, usually finite, set. This is the set of all bijective functions from a set to itself endowed with the operation of composition of functions. Rings. The standard example of a ring is the set of integers equipped with the operations of addition and multiplication of integers. We will formulate various theorems concerning the structure and basic properties of groups and rings emphasizing the concept of isomorphism of groups or rings. From the perspective of Algebra two algebraic structures which are isomorphic, they have exactly the same algebraic properties. As a direct consequence, results concerning an algebraic structure are valid in any isomorphic algebraic structure. In the course we present several examples illuminating various notions of symmetry. It should be noted that the notion of symmetry is the central theme which underlies the concept of group/ring. At the end of the course we expect the student: (a) to have understood the definitions and basic theorems which are discussed in the course, (b) to have understood how they are applied in discrete examples, (c) to be able to apply the material in order to extract new elementary conclusions, and finally (d) to perform some (no so obvious) calculations.

General Competences

The course aims to enable the undergraduate student to acquire the ability to analyse and synthesize basic knowledge of the theory of algebraic structures, in particular of the general theory of Groups and Rings, which form an important part of modern algebra. The contact of the undergraduate student with the ideas and concepts of the theory of groups and rings, (a) promotes the creative, analytical and deductive thinking and the ability to work independently, (b) improves his critical thinking and his ability to apply abstract knowledge in various field.

Syllabus

• Preliminaries: Sets, functions, equivalence relations, partitions, (binary) operations.
• Groups – Permutation groups.
• Cyclic groups – generators.
• Cosets with respect to a subgroup – Lagrange’s Theorem.
• Homomorphisms of groups – Quotient groups.
• Rings and fields - Integral domains.
• The theorems of Fermat and Euler.
• Polynomial rings – Homomorphisms of Rings.
• Quotient rings – Prime and maximal ideals.

The term "stochastic" is used to describe phenomena in which some randomness inherent. A stochastic process is a probabilistic model that describes the behaviour of a system that randomly evolves over time. Observing the system at discrete points in time (for instance at the end of each day or at the end of a time period, etc.) one gets a discrete time stochastic process. Observing the system continuously through time one gets a continuous time stochastic process. Objectives of the course are: Understanding the behaviour of a real system and based on its study to derive reliable results, a careful analysis of the model and the calculation of the results. A variety of classes of stochastic processes such as, the random walk, the Markov chains etc is used. The student should be able to understand the meaning of the stochastic process, use the Markov processes for modelling systems and become familiar with their application, and be able to make various calculations and appropriate conclusions when the stochastic process describes a specific applied problem.

The course is an introduction to symbolic mathematical computations (computer algebra) and programming using a language for processing symbolic mathematical expressions, such as Mathematica. The course examines basic concepts in symbolic algebraic computations and emphases is given on finding the solution of a problem in closed form (exact solution) as opposed to a numerical solution (approximate solution). Using a symbolic language the course examines tools / commands to solve problems from different areas of Mathematics (Calculus, Algebra, Geometry, Statistics, etc.) and how to graphically show the results of solving a problem. Also programming methods are examined which can be used for the solution of a problem in addition to using just ready commands.

The course is a first introduction to the basic methods of applied mathematics and particularly in perturbation theory. There are many situations in mathematics where one finds expressions that cannot be calculated with absolute precision, or where exact answers are too complicated to provide useful information. In many of these cases, it is possible to find a relatively simple expression which, in practice, is just as good as the complete, exact solution. The asymptotic analysis deals with methods for finding such approximations and has a wide range of applications, both in the fields of pure mathematics such as combinatorics, probability, number theory and applied mathematics and computer science, for example, the analysis of runtime algorithms. The goal of this course is to introduce some of the basic techniques and to apply these methods to a variety of problems. Upon completion of this course students will be able to: Recognize the practical value of small or large parameters for calculating mathematical expressions. Understand the concept of (divergent) asymptotic series, and distinguish between regular and singular perturbations. Find dominant behaviors in algebraic and differential equations with small and large parameters. Calculate dominant behavior of integrals with a small parameter. Find a (in particular cases) the full asymptotic behavior of integrals. Identify the boundary layers in solutions of differential equations, and apply appropriate expansions to calculate the dominant solutions.

General Competences

Search for, analysis and synthesis of data and information, with the use of the necessary technology. Adapting to new situations. Decision-making.

Syllabus

Introduction and notation of perturbation theory. Regular and singular perturbations. Asymptotic expansions of integrals. Asymptotic solutions of linear and nonlinear differential equations. Laplace and Fourier transforms (if time permits).

The aim of the course is an introduction to Partial Differential Equations. By this course the students become familiar with a broad area of Analysis that has many applications to other sciences. The course highlights the wealth of problems that arise and proposes methods to overcome them. These are presented exemplarily and aim to teach ways of transcending and generalizing known methods and solutions. The students learn to analyze methodically externally given problems, taking into account relevant informations and aims, and to try to apply knowledge from other areas of Pure Mathematics in order to solve these problems. Moreover, the students learn to interpret the obtained mathematical results. On the level of content, the students learn about, mainly linear, Partial Differential Equations of first and second order for functions of two variables with respect to both, their explicit solution and their qualitative behavior, and obtain an elementary overview of further problems.

General Competences

Search for, analysis and synthesis of data and information, with the use of the necessary technology Working independently Working in an interdisciplinary environment Production of free, creative and inductive thinking

Syllabus

• Overview of Partial Differential Equations (PDE) and Systems: classification with respect to their (non-)linearity, description of the arising problems and of the various kinds of solutions (classical and weak, general and with boundary values).

(In the following the focus is given on two independent variables.)

• First order PDE (linear, semi-linear, quasi-linear): geometric and algebraic observations concerning their qualitative behavior, initial value problems and method of characteristics, discussion of the Burgers equation, shock waves and weak solutions, Rankine-Hugoniot condition.
• Second order PDE: classification, characteristic directions and characteristic curves, wave equation on the line (homogeneous and inhomogeneous), separation of variables for the Laplace and heat equations, Poisson formula.

(Alternatively: instead of the discussion of the (non-linear) Burgers equation and of weak solutions an introduction to the Fourier transform may be given and the heat equation on the line may be discussed.)

Learning Outcomes

Learning outcomes

The principal aim of the course is to introduce the students to the main tools and methods of the theory of non-commutative rings, where by non-commutative ring is meant an associative ring with unit, which is not necessarily commutative. The main objective of the course is to present the basic theory of rings and the ideas which lead to the proof of: (a) the fundamental theorem of Wedderburn-Artin concerning the structure of semisimple rings and, (b) the fundamental density theorem of Jacobson concerning the structure of primitive rings. A key element in the study of a ring is the interaction and interplay between ring-theoretical properties of the ring and the structure of its (left or right) ideals or modules. In the course a variety of examples and constructions will be analyzed and various applications of ring theory to other areas of mathematics (in particular of algebra) will be explored. At the end of the course we expect the student to have understood the definitions and basic theorems which are discussed in the course, to have understood how they are applied in discrete examples, to be able to apply the material in order to extract new elementary conclusions, and finally to perform some (no so obvious) calculations.

General Competences

The course aims to enable the undergraduate student to acquire the ability to analyse and synthesize basic knowledge of the Theory of Rings, which is an important part of modern algebra. The contact of the undergraduate student with the ideas and concepts of the theory of rings, (a) promotes the creative, analytical and deductive thinking and the ability to work independently, (b) improves his critical thinking and his ability to apply abstract knowledge in various field.

Syllabus

Rings - Homomorphisms - Ideals - Quotient Rings - Modules - Rings arising from various constructions - Algebras - Group algebras - Modules over group algebras - Module homomorphisms - The bicommutator - Simple faithful modules and primitive rings - Artin rings - Simple finite dimensional algebras over algebraically closed fields - Artinian modules - Noetherian rings and modules - Jacobson radical.

The study of nonlinear systems has quietly and steadily revolutionized the realm of science over recent years. It is known that for nonlinear systems new structures emerge that have their features and peculiar ways of interacting. Examples of such structures abound in nature and include, amongst others: vortices (like tornadoes), solitons (bits of information used in optical fiber communications, water waves, tsunamis, etc), and chemical reactions. This course is intended as an introduction to the theory and of Nonlinear Waves and their applications. By the end of the course students will be able to: highlight the major differences between linear and nonlinear waves and the special features of solitons. Solve linear waves equations and understand the concept of a dispersion relation. Construct similarity solutions. use the inverse scattering transform and to construct analytical solutions.

General Competences

Search for, analysis and synthesis of data and information, with the use of the necessary technology. Adapting to new situations. Decision-making.

Syllabus

The basic objective of this lecture is the development of Module Theory. Drawing on this the Theoretical Algebra and deepening it, we will study implications of Theory of Groups and Theory of Rings, that have been studied in previous academic years. This subject consists of two parts. In the first part, after a revision of the basic concepts of the Group Theory and of the Ring Theory, we will define in detail the notion of a module. In the second part, through the Decomposition Theorems we will connect Module Theory with relevant objects, as for example that of the finitely generated groups (achieving the full classification of them) and also with objects of Linear Algebra (through Smith Form, Rational Canonical Form, Jordan Canonical Form). The expectations of the students are to understand the concepts, the definitions and the main theorems of this subject.

General Competences

Work autonomously work in teams develop critical thinking skills.

Syllabus

• Rings and Ideals
• Principal Ideal Domains and Unique Factorization Domains
• The notion of Module. Module structure and isomorphism theorems
• Finitely generated modules. Free modules
• Annihilator. Product and direct sum of modules
• Fundamental Structure Theorems
• Vector space decomposition Theorems
