Mathematics (G100)

Courses are divided into modules. In each year you will normally take modules totalling 120 credits.

You are required to take:

• Calculus I (15 credits)
• Linear Algebra & Geometry I (15 credits)
• Sequences & Series (15 credits)
• Introduction to Algebra (15 credits)
• Calculus II (15 credits)
• Linear Algebra & Geometry II (15 credits)
• Introduction to Dynamical Systems (15 credits)
• Probability & Statistics I (15 credits)

In your first year there are no optional modules.

2nd Year

You are required to take:

• Real Analysis (15 credits)
• Classical Dynamics (15 credits)
• Groups & Symmetries (15 credits)
• Applied Differential Equations (15 credits)
• Complex Analysis (15 credits)

In addition, you are required to take three modules from a range of optional modules that may typically include:

• Introduction to Number Theory (15 credits)
• Probability & Statistics II (15 credits)
• Geometry of Surfaces (15 credits)
• Statistical Modelling (15 credits)
• Discrete Mathematics (15 credits)
• Metric Spaces & Topology (15 credits)

Mathematics with a Year Abroad

Students on the four year course will spend their third year studying abroad before returning to complete a final year with King’s. This will depend on reaching a certain grade average and being accepted by a partner university. Our partner institutions currently include:

• Hong Kong University
• National University of Singapore
• University of California
• University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill
• University of Chicago
• McGill University

Mathematics BSc

If you are studying the three year BSc, you will take the final year modules in your third year

You are required to take at least two of the following modules:

• Metric Spaces & Topology (15 credits)
• Topology (15 credits)
• Special Relativity & Electromagnetism (15 credits)
• Introductory Quantum Theory (15 credits)
• Rings & Modules (15 credits)
• Mathematical Finance I: Discrete Time (15 credits)
• Fourier Analysis (15 credits)
• Galois Theory (15 credits)
• Mathematical Finance II: Continuous Time (15 credits)

Take sufficient credits to bring your total for the year to 120, from a range of optional modules which may typically include:

• Mathematical Theory of Collective Behaviour (15 credits)
• Numerical & Computational Methods (15 credits)
• Theory of Complex Networks (15 credits)
• Introduction to Number Theory (15 credits)
