PhD UFBA/UFAL
The PhD program in Mathematics at UFBA, created in 2010 jointly with UFAL, is now the only program in this field in Bahia. It therefore has a regional leading role in the formation of professors for the local schools and in particular universities. It is one of the centres of mathematical research in North and North-eastern Brazil with its scientific staff publishing in renowned international journals. A Summer program is organised every year at UFBA, in the months of January and February. The public targeted by this program ranges from prospective Master students to senior researchers. The Summer activities include courses, several workshops, and conferences. Additionally, at the end of each calendar year a conference bringing together students and researchers from all fields of Mathematics is organised.
The program currently comprises the following research areas:
Algebra, Logic and Topology
Analysis
Differential Geometry
Dynamical Systems
