The School of Mathematics research library includes current subscriptions and back sets of the main physics and mathematics journals together with over nine thousand books. Access to the extensive research library of the School of Theoretical Physics of the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies can be arranged.
Several computers are available for use in research.
The department's UNIX computer system runs on a network of workstations and X-terminals, serving over 1000 users. One of the computer rooms is reserved for the use of research students. Research students with high performance computing requirements have access to the Center for Supercomputing in Ireland. The Center is jointly operated by Trinity College and Queen's University, Belfast and maintains an IBM SP2 supercomputer with 16 parallel computing nodes. Research students in computation may, by special arrangement, make use of computing facilities of the Institute for Numerical Computation and Analysis.
