The Utrecht Geometry Center organises every year a Summer School on Geometry aimed mostly at 2nd/3rd year bachelor students. For two weeks, attendees will interact with our staff, through lectures and tutorials, learning about some of the topics studied at the UGC.
How to enroll: The event is organised within the framework of the campus-wide “Summer School Utrecht”. You can click on the link and search for “geometry” to see if there is an open call.
Organizers: Johan van de Leur and Barbara van den Berg
Every year, the Utrecht Geometry Centre organises a two-week Summer School on Geometry aimed at students in latter stages of the bachelor. This event is organised in the framework of the campus-wide “Summer School Utrecht”, that takes care of all practical issues, such as arranging housing, waivers and grants, as well as offering an attractive social programme. Participation in the entire Summer School yields 3 ECTS-credits.
The first installment in 2016 was a big success, with over 40 participants from all over the world; you can take a look at the programme here. If you want to broaden your horizon next summer, do not miss the next installment!
Some of the courses we have covered so far are:
diophantine equations
elliptic curves
geometry of discrete groups
Grassmannians and representation theory of GL(n)
local-global principle for quadratic forms
loop spaces
Morse theory
p-adic numbers
representations of finite groups
symplectic geometry
topology of ordinal numbers
