B.Sc. Mathematics (Hons)

Our Mathematics courses have been developed to help you gain an understanding of pure and applied mathematics, as well as a grounding in statistics and probability. The development of key communication skills are embedded within the curriculum.

You will study a range of core modules themed around: vector and linear algebra; introduction to university mathematics; numbers, sequences and series; probability and statistics; calculus; and modelling and mechanics.You will also learn to use mathematical software such as MATLAB, Maple and LaTeX.

In year 2, modules are themed around: analysis; numerical analysis; differential equations; linear algebra and groups; vector calculus; functions of a complex variable; and statistical inference and methods.

The main focus in this phase of the course is your final-year project that will involve an in-depth study of a problem of your own choosing, drawn from the interests of a member of staff.

Other modules may be themed around: partial differential equations; measure, probability and integration; geometry and topology; differential geometry; fluid mechanics; classical and quantum mechanics; numerical analysis; and statistical models.
