UEO open to students in international exchange programs

For students in an exchange program, registration is made directly with the International Relations Department (without going through the registration platform dedicated to the UEO).

Description of the WEU

This UEO aims to describe the behavior of everyday phenomena by simply constructing the mathematical equations that describe them. For example, how a pollutant spreads in the ground, how a population of rabbits survives a population of stray dogs, how cars spread on a road network, how a gas or a liquid is modeled, etc.


These activities will allow the student to develop their analysis and understanding skills, in particular, to identify what must be observed, what must be modeled and finally what can be resolved to be able to understand the future behavior of a phenomenon. . This approach used to model phenomena is necessary to understand the world.


Prey-predator models make it possible, for example, to find critical values ​​of prey and predators for the ecosystem to survive or what is the butterfly effect? And beyond modeling and a mathematical model, how does a physicist use these models to understand the world?
