Commutative Algebra
Module: Module 1.1 (Semester 1)
ECTS: 5
Objective: Learn the concepts of commutative algebra in relation to applications in algebraic number theory,algebraic geometry and other fields of mathematics
Course learningoutcomes:
"The successful students possesses deepened and extended knowledge of the topics treatedin Commutative Algebra."
Description: In number theory one is naturally led to study more general numbers than just the classicalintegers and, thus, to introduce the concept of integral elements in number fields. The rings ofintegers in number fields have certain very beautiful properties (such as the unique factorisationof ideals) which characterise them as Dedekind rings. Parallely, in geometry one studies affinevarieties through their coordinate rings. It turns out that the coordinate ring of a curve is aDedekind ring if and only if the curve is non-singular (e.g. has no self intersection).
With this in mind, we shall work towards the concept and the characterisation of Dedekindrings. Along the way, we shall introduce and demonstrate through examples basic concepts ofalgebraic geometry and algebraic number theory. Moreover, we shall be naturally led to treatmany concepts from commutative algebra.
Depending on the previous knowledge of the audience, the lecture will cover all or parts of thefollowing topics:
- General concepts in the theory of commutative rings
+ rings, ideals and modules
+ Noetherian rings
+ tensor products
+ localisation
+ completion
+ dimension
- Number rings
+ integral extensions

Riemannian Geometry
Module: Module 1.1 (Semester 1)
Master en Enseignement Secondaire - Master enEnseignement Secondaire, Filière Mathématiques
Version: 26 December 2020 Page 8 of 38
ECTS: 5
Objective: The objective is to allow the student to familiarize himself with a very active field of mathematics,with broad applications throughout science. Beyond this goal, special emphasizes will be puton the Mathematical Method, i.e., the optimal technique to learn and apply mathematics, inparticular in order to solve real life problems using mathematical tools. This method is the mostimportant of the objectives of any study program in mathematics.
Course learningoutcomes:
On successful completion of the course, the student should be able to:
- Explain the main definitions and results of Differential and Riemannian Geometries
- Comment on new concepts, like the category of smooth manifolds, smooth scalar observables,their derivatives, vector bundles, tensor fields, Lie derivatives, covariant derivatives, Christoffelsymbols, curvature, torsion, Riemannian manifolds, Levi-Civita connection, parallel transport,geodesics, as well as various types of curvature on Riemannian manifolds
- Apply the new techniques and solve related problems
- Structure the acquired abilities and summarize essential aspects adopting a higher standpoint
- Give a talk for peers or students on a related topic and write scientific texts or lecture notes,observing modern standards in scientific writing, in Didactics and in Pedagogy
- Provide evidence for the mastery of the Mathematical Method
Description: Differential and Riemannian Geometries have applications in numerous fields of science,including Einstein's general theory of relativity, string theory, black holes and galaxy clusters,probability, engineering, economics, modeling and design, wireless communication and imageprocessing, biology, chemistry, geology… The main concept in Differential Geometry aredifferential manifolds - roughly, higher dimensional analogs of curves and surfaces. To be ableto use efficiently these new spaces, a generalization of fundamental mathematical notions,such as derivatives and integrals, is required. As for Riemannian manifolds, they are differentialmanifolds that come equipped with a metric, which then allows for concepts like length, areaand volume on the manifold considered. This metric is also an essential ingredient of thedefinition of the curvature of a Riemannian or pseudo-Riemannian manifold. Curvature is themost important aspect of (pseudo-) Riemannian manifolds: they are curved spaces like, forinstance, the Universe. To understand the fundamental concept of curvature, a prior excursionin the world of connections (a kind of derivatives) on vector bundles (manifolds with additionalstructure) is indispensable.

Description: Homological algebra is roughly speaking a collection of techniques that allow scientists to extractinformation encoded in a widespread type of sequences of objects and arrows. It originatesfrom topology, became an independent field of Mathematics in the mid-1940s, and developedin close connection with modern category theory. Nowadays, homological algebra plays animportant role in numerous areas of Mathematics, e.g., in algebraic number theory, algebraic anddifferential geometry, higher algebra, graph complexes and deformation theory, operad theory,mathematical and theoretical physics… The first part of the course covers the basic conceptsand the important tools. The second part is devoted to a consolidation of the knowledge acquiredvia exercises and applications, whereas the third part builds on the previous skills and providesinsight into the modern approach to Homological Algebra in the framework of abelian categorytheory.

Mehrsprachigkeit im Sprach- und Fachunterricht
Module: Modul: Mehrsprachigkeit und Heterogenität (Semester 2)
ECTS: 3
Objective: Die Studierenden haben gelernt…• ... dass eine Sprache aus mehreren Varietäten bestehen und dass Äußerungen aus
mehreren Sprachen bestehen können.• … dass in der Schule eine bestimmte Sprachvarietät, die „Standardsprache" vorausgesetzt
wird, diese aber nicht bei allen Schüler/innen vorausgesetzt werden kann• ... dass Sprachen aus bestimmten formalen Einheiten bestehen (Phoneme, Morpheme,
Wörter, Sätze, …), die jeweils bestimmte Funktionen in der sprachlichen Äußerungübernehmen.
• … dass es verschiedene Möglichkeiten gibt, Mehrsprachigkeit in den Unterricht zu integrieren(Scaffolding, Interlanguaging, CLIL, Sprachkontraste, Übersetzungen, …)
Die Studierenden sind in der Lage …• … die stillschweigende Voraussetzung der „Standardsprache" zu erkennen und
angemessene, „sprachsensible" Formen des Umgangs im Unterricht zu finden.• … verschiedene Aspekte sprachsensiblen Unterrichts in Ihren Unterricht zu integrieren.• … Lehrwerke und Unterrichtsmaterialien nach sprachsensiblen Kriterien zu analysieren und
im Unterricht einzusetzen.
Description: Schule wird bis heute als eine Institution mit einem „monolingualen Habitus" gesehen. DieVorlesung hinterfragt diese institutionelle Einsprachigkeit und führt in verschiedene Aspektevon Mehrsprachigkeit ein: Was unterscheidet eine einsprachige von einer mehrsprachigenÄußerung? Wie sind mehrsprachige Praktiken strukturiert?Aus didaktischer Perspektive wird gefragt, welche Faktoren den Spracherwerbs- bzw.Sprachlernprozess von Schüler/innen in schulischen und außerschulischen Kontextenbeeinflussen und wie diese Lernprozesse im Sprachenunterricht unterstützt werden können.Hierzu werden verschiedene pädagogische Haltungen und didaktische Mittel präsentiert.Ein wesentlicher Teil der Auseinandersetzung sprachlicher und didaktischer Mittel wird anTextaufgaben aus dem Bereich Mathematik erarbeitet, sowie an Aufgabenstellungen in denSprachenfächern.• Schleppegrell, M.

Course learningoutcomes:
The course requires minimal prerequisites (some linear algebra, Euclidean geometry and basictopology) but aims to explore results that are at the limit of current known understanding. Inparticular, we'll discuss some open problems and try to illustrate the process of modern research.The subjects are chosen so that they can be treated with a hands-on approach, and this approachand experience are as important for this course as the actual content.
Description: The course will cover a selection of themes from combinatorial aspects of geometry.
Themes include general theorems about convex sets in n dimensional real space (and Helly typetheorems), Minkovski's first theorem for lattices, and Ramsey theory (graph coloring problems).

ECTS: 3
Master en Enseignement Secondaire - Master enEnseignement Secondaire, Filière Mathématiques
Version: 26 December 2020 Page 33 of 38
Objective: This course (lecture) is aimed to deepen students' knowledge on the latest research aboutthe leaning processes of children with special educational needs (SEN) like dyslexia, specificlanguage impairment, and dyscalculia. This course will also try to equip these future teacherswith strategies aimed to more efficiently teach children with SEN.
Description: Over the year's research has informed the scientific and the educational community about howchildren's learning processes can be affected by neurologically-based difficulties. These specificlearning difficulties can interfere with the learning of basic skills like reading, writing, maths orlanguage learning. They can also interfere with higher level skills such as organization, timeplanning, abstract reasoning, long or short term memory and attention. As teachers, it is essentialto understand the impact specific learning difficulties have on children's learning trajectories andhow we can best ameliorate these difficulties.
