The idea of this week program is to introduce the participants to algebraic geometry from two explicit angles: theta functions theory and algebraic curves. To illustrate the topics, the participants will manipulate the objects using computational software as Magma and Sage (no a priori knowledge is required on these softwares). This short course is a prelude to the CIMPA school and it is highly recommended for the students who wish to participate. Mathematical tools that will be explained during the week have applications to coding theory, cryptography but also to algebraic statistics.

Format of the event:
There will be lectures in the morning related to various aspects of theta functions or algebraic curves. In the afternoon, we will work on specific problems with computer help.
