Mathematics of decision making and statistics
The MADS (Mathématiques de la Décision et Statistique) group is one of the 9 groups of the research laboratory TSE-R (UMR 5314).
Its goal is to promote and develop research activities in mathematics applied to economics.
Topics covered include operations research, financial mathematics, statistics, econometrics, game theory, optimization, probability, calculus of variations, partial differential equations (PDEs), and mathematical models in economics, finance, and social sciences.
Activities of the group
- seminars
- lectures
- workshops with PhD students
- advanced courses
