Ecology is one of the most involved sciences in this challenge. Undoubtedly, mathematics and computer simulations have played an important role in the development of theoretical ecology for almost one century. They are often designated as "modeling". But what - [Geometric Mechanics, Variational and Stochastic Methods](https://bernoulli.epfl.ch/programs/geometric-mechanics-variational-and-stochastic-methods/) - The basic goal of this program is to advance research in geometric as well as stochastic methods in mechanics, control theory, and imaging, taking into account recent developments also in connected areas, such as infinite dimensional Lie groups and representation theory, quantum gauge field theory, infinite dimensional analysis. Applications ranging from mathematical physics to modeling - [Analytic and Geometric Aspects of Probability on Graphs](https://bernoulli.epfl.ch/programs/analytic-and-geometric-aspects-of-probability-on-graphs/) - Interplay between the probability theory and geometric group theory yielded many spectacular results enriching both areas. Asymptotic properties of various models coming from statistical physics and probabilities were connected to the geometry and combinatorics of the underlying discrete algebraic structure (for instance a group, a graph, a group action). The study started with simple random - [Computational aspects of partition functions](https://bernoulli.epfl.ch/programs/computational-aspects-of-partition-functions/) - Partition functions arise as fundamental quantities in physics, mathematics, statistics, computer science and many engineering disciplines. They are often notoriously hard to compute since they typically involve summations over an exponential number of terms. Different computational approaches have been developed in various mathematical disciplines to bound or estimate these important quantities. The aim of this - [Multi-scale Mathematical Modelling and Coarse-grain Computational Chemistry](https://bernoulli.epfl.ch/programs/multi-scale-mathematical-modelling-and-coarse-grain-computational-chemistry/) - The M^3 + C^3 semester programme concerns molecular and materials modelling from atomistic to continuum scales. Our aim in the programme is to bring together theoreticians and practitioners, from all of applied mathematics, statistics, engineering, physics and computational chemistry, to work on the development of a systematic account of available coarse-grain and multi-scale techniques, with - [Dynamics with Structures](https://bernoulli.epfl.ch/programs/dynamics-with-structures/) - The theory of dynamical systems, which in barest terms is the study of maps from a set to itself, permeates mathematics and science. It is used in diverse contexts, from proving the existence of solutions of equations to the modelling of complex natural phenomena. In more recent years dynamical methods have proven to be remarkably ## Competition PDFs - [Polympiads Problems](https://bernoulli.epfl.ch/competition_dociment/test-competition-2/) ## Media Videos - [AI: reasoning and mathematics](https://bernoulli.epfl.ch/bernoulli_media/ai-reasoning-and-mathematics/) - [Inauguration of the Bernoulli Center](https://bernoulli.epfl.ch/bernoulli_media/inauguration-of-the-bernoulli-center/) - [Professor Serre series of Lectures](https://bernoulli.epfl.ch/bernoulli_media/professor-serre-series-of-lectures/) - [Foliations in Algebraic and Birational Geometry](https://bernoulli.epfl.ch/bernoulli_media/foliations-in-algebraic-and-birational-geometry/) ## Categories - [Uncategorized](https://bernoulli.epfl.ch/category/uncategorized/) - [News](https://bernoulli.epfl.ch/category/news/) ## Program categories - [External programme](https://bernoulli.epfl.ch/program_category/external-programs/) - [Internal Programme](https://bernoulli.epfl.ch/program_category/internal-programs/) - [Past Programme](https://bernoulli.epfl.ch/program_category/past-programs/) ## Competition PDF categories - [Bernoulli Competition](https://bernoulli.epfl.ch/pdf_category/bernoulli-competition/) ## Media Video Categories - [Category 1](https://bernoulli.epfl.ch/bernoulli_media_category/category-1/) - [Category 3](https://bernoulli.epfl.ch/bernoulli_media_category/category-3/)
