A foundation is constructed for number, algebra, geometry and calculus, with ideas of problem-solving and proof. At levels two and three, these themes are extended and applied to successively richer mathematical systems. Here we study contemporary developments in geometry, the deep algebraic structures which underlie pure Mathematics and applications in statistics and discrete Mathematics. A project module will enable you to pursue in depth an area of particular interest to you. The course is taught through lectures and seminars, with opportunities to share the results of individual and group investigations.
Assessment is by a combination of coursework and examination.
Teaching groups are seldom large, and staff are readily available for tutorial help. The Department is making increasing use of specialist software to support teaching and learning in Mathematics. We normally require A level Mathematics or Maths with Statistics, or a suitable BTEC or GNVQ qualification.
