Doctorate in Mathematics
The Doctorate in Mathematics is offered jointly by three traditional universities in Valparaíso: Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso, Universidad Técnica Federico Santa María, and Universidad de Valparaíso.
Its academic staff consists of more than thirty researchers. The program lasts four years: the first year is dedicated to courses, followed by one year for thesis projects and research seminars, and the final two years are dedicated exclusively to the doctoral thesis in one of its various research areas: Non-linear Analysis and PDEs, Numerical Analysis, Control of PDEs and Inverse Problems, Statistical Modeling, Optimization, Stochastic Processes, Dynamical Systems, and Number Theory.
The main dissemination activity of the doctorate is the School of Doctoral Studies in Mathematics of Valparaíso, an event held every October, where mini-courses on topics related to the doctorate’s research lines are taught.
