Abstract

The keynote of the project consists of the enhancement of the student's formation in Physics and Mathematics, aiming to prepare him for future involvement in Mathematical and Theoretical Physics research projects. On the whole, we will seek to advance towards improving the student's knowledge on topics related to Functional Analysis, Differential Geometry, Classical Mechanics and Quantum Mechanics, to conduct a more in-depth future study of Classical Field Theory and General Relativity and an introduction to Quantum Field Theory. A small work project to be drawn up in parallel to the study program is mentioned at the end. (AU)
