IMPA opens registration for Summer Program

Between January and February, many mathematics enthusiasts swap the beaches of Rio de Janeiro for classrooms and heated debates in the IMPA coffee lounge. Starting today, the institute has opened registration for its Summer Program courses , which can be done through the IMPA institutional system. Classes will be in person and begin on January 2nd. The classes will also be available on IMPA's YouTube channel.

The Summer Program activities are completely free and take place alongside the institute's regular schedule. As in previous years, this edition of IMPA's summer program is open to students and researchers from other institutions. Divided into undergraduate research, master's, doctoral, and seminar courses, the program runs until March 3rd.

Researcher Carlos Gustavo Moreira, known as “Gugu”, teaches the Real Line Analysis course , one of the most sought-after introductory courses. The Director-General of IMPA, Marcelo Viana, presents the seminar “Dynamic Systems and Ergodic Theory”. Claudio Landim, the institute's Deputy Director, leads the class “Introduction to Statistical Mechanics” for master's students.

In total, three undergraduate research courses, nine master's degree courses, seven doctoral degree courses, and ten seminars will be offered. The list of courses is available on the website , as are the schedules for the activities.

Students from outside Rio de Janeiro were able to apply for the scholarship for the program until November 10th. Those selected will be contacted by the IMPA Teaching Committee via email. Residents of Rio de Janeiro and other candidates who did not participate in the scholarship selection process can register directly for the courses. Registration is open until January 16th.
