Applied Algebra study track

Objectives

This track offers an introduction to several IT and telecommunication fields: formal calculation, correction coding, cryptography and quantum information theory. This track is primarily based on core mathematical foundations, especially algebraic concepts.

In practice

These areas are first examined from a theoretical perspective. This includes purely mathematical courses (arithmetic, finite fields, algebraic curves) and courses combining computer science and mathematics or even physics (correction coding, cryptography, quantum information). The modules are taught in traditional lesson-seminar form, with around fifteen students per class. Certain modules can also take the form of projects or practical sessions on machines (computational algebra).

Language of instruction: English

After the track

3rd year technological innovation at Télécom Paris

• Quantum Engineering

Master’s-Engineering Dual Degree

• Machine learning, communications, and security (IP Paris)
• Algorithmics and Foundations of Programming (Univ. Paris-Saclay)

Professions

This track opens the door to research, with the most natural next steps being a Master 2 followed by a thesis. However, it could also provide helpful theoretical insight for students who wish to pursue a career as an engineer specializing in communication systems networks or security.
