Many people are equally interested in more than one subject.
The advent of electronic computers has allowed numerical information to be obtained for a vast range of fields. In applied mathematics, weather forecasting is a well known example and, in pure mathematics, the solution of the classic Four Colour Problem related to the colouring of maps is a famous example. This makes the pairing of mathematics and computing a natural one. In recent times the interplay between mathematics and certain branches of chemistry has increased and this led to the founding at this university of a Joint Honours Degree Course for these disciplines. These joint courses are described in two separate brochures.
