Math Foundation Course for 12th Grade Students in 2026

SSE Riga is organising a practical "Math Foundation Course" designed for high school students. The course aims to build a bridge between high school math and university-level math.

The course is free of charge, however, prior registration is necessary. The course will take place at SSE Riga, with three sessions scheduled on Saturdays from 10:00 to 12:00:

• January 31, 2026
• February 7, 2026
• February 14, 2026

Each session consists of 2 parts: a one-hour lecture led by Associate Professor Nicolas Gavoille, and then a one-hour seminar led by an actual SSE Riga student. In other words, one part with theory and one with exercises to solve. The topics of the three sessions: 1) differentiation, 2) optimization, 3) integral calculus.

At SSE Riga Nicolas Gavoille teaches BSc courses: Mathematics; Econometrics; Economic Specialisation; Game Theory.
