How can maths help us understand the dynamics of infectious diseases? Or how an idea circulates on social media? Or the behaviour of queues? We’ll show you how maths solves real-world problems. You’ll work with experts whose research is having an impact – from forecasting local outbreaks of COVID, to predicting floods.In your first year, you learn how to derive and prove fundamental results in calculus. You then build on your existing knowledge and discover new aspects of the subject including:- mathematical biology- cryptography- probability- financial mathematics- partial differential equations.This course is flexible, so you can focus on what fascinates you while gaining a strong foundation in core mathematics. You’ll develop your analytical and modelling skills using industry-standard software such as MATLAB, Python and R.Our Department is a close-knit community, and you’ll get to know your lecturers on an individual basis. Their dedication and support will help you to get the most from your degree. Academic advisors support you every step of the way and you’ll have lots of opportunities to engage with potential employers.
