University of Glasgow

Mathematics is a vast and ever-growing subject which incorporates successful explorations of numerical, geometrical and logical relationships. Physics is the experimental and theoretical study of matter and energy and their interactions, ranging from the domain of elementary particles, through nuclear and atomic physics, to the physics of solids and, ultimately, to the origins of the universe itself.
