About the school
The National Higher School of Mathematics.
NHSM (École Nationale Supérieure de Mathématiques) was created by presidential decree in 2021 at the Sidi Abdellah technology hub in Algiers — the first school in Algeria to award engineering degrees in mathematics. Students complete a preparatory cycle on a shared mathematical core, then specialise in an advanced track. This page is a quick introduction for newcomers.
