The School of Mathematical Sciences at Exeter is an ideal place to study these subjects it is large enough to provide expertise to cater for student interests across the range of the mathematical sciences and small enough to ensure a caring and supportive learning environment. We have about 20 academic staff, over a third of whom are Professors, with international recognition in topics spanning Pure Mathematics, Applied Mathematics and Statistics. There are also three members of technical staff to look after the School computing facilities. Students receive considerable support through our comprehensive tutorial arrangements, especially in their first year. An open exchange of views between students and staff, via the Student-Staff Liaison Committee and student representation on all other School Committees, allows us to respond quickly to changing student needs.
Research is an integral and important part of our activities.
Research work at Exeter includes areas of Algebra, Analysis, Number Theory, Geophysical and Astrophysical Fluid Dynamics, Control Theory, and various topics in Statistics and Operational Research. Much of the work is fundamental research, but much of it is also inspired by problems arising in industry and in the environment. We therefore collaborate with other Schools in the University, and with other institutions in the UK and abroad. The work of the Applied Mathematics group in particular has gained an international reputation, and this group scored the high rating of 5 in the 1996 Research Assessment Exercise.
