Specialized English-Taught International Semester Program of Master’s Level.
The aim
The program aims to introduce students to the fundamentals of the geometry of complex space and its subsets and basic methods of their study. Algebraic geometry and the language of amoebas (and coamoebas) of complex sets combine to produce a powerful tool of contemporary mathematical research in different areas: from PDE and difference equations to algebraic and hypergeometric functions.
Objectives
- To give students the basic knowledge of geometry of complex analytic sets, different homology theories.
- To make students familiar with the complex analytic approaches in contemporary research in algebraic geometry.
- To provide students with the opportunity to develop academic and research skills.
- To enable students to experience of conducting guided research.
Learning outcomes
On completion of this program, it is expected that students will be able to:
- recall the terminology of complex algebraic geometry, theory of difference equations, basic definitions and statements;
- tell the difference between approaches to homology in complex manifolds;
- recognize the problems the complex analytic methods may be used to solve;
- prove rigorously mathematical statements and formulate precise mathematical arguments.
Diploma and degree: Program Certificate.
Career prospects
Research career: the holder of the program certificate can continue studying to earn a MSc in Mathematics degree.

Key courses
- Difference Equations in Several Variables
- Homology Theory
- Topics in Contemporary Algebraic Geometry

The University
Today Siberian Federal University (SibFU) with over 35,000 students enrolled in its programmes is one of the most actively developing universities in Russia. Annually more than 200 visiting professors — leading scientists from UK, Germany, Spain and USA — deliver their lectures at SibFU.
The University is a winner of the Russian Government grants supporting research projects under the guidance of top-level scholars from Russia and all over the world.
The campus of Siberian Federal University is located in a forested area of the city of Krasnoyarsk. Academic buildings and dormitories of the university are surrounded by natural forest lands and easily accessible by the public transport. More information about the University Campus can be found here.
The City of Krasnoyarsk
Krasnoyarsk is the administrative capital of Krasnoyarsky kray — second largest region of Russia. It is a big industrial and educational centre with a population of more than 1 million people, and also an important junction of the Trans-Siberian Railway.
The city is located on the banks of the Yenisey River in the valley formed by the Eastern Sayan Mountains. Nature reserve Stolby ("pillars") has become the city’s visiting card.
Among the famous people born in Krasnoyarsk are artist Vasily Surikov, opera singer Dmitri Hvorostovsky, biathlete Evgeny Ustyugov, skeletonist Alexander Tretyakov and ice-hockey player Alexander Semin.
In March 2019 Krasnoyarsk proudly hosted the
