Applied Mathematics

The programme aims to offer knowledge and expertise for a career in the academic world, or to pursue a variety of other opportunities in which a strong mathematical background is important. Past students are on the staff of universities in the UK and abroad, and senior statisticians and managers in industry and business.

• functional analysis and spectral theory of ordinary and partial differential operators
• calculus of variations and partial differential equations
• numerical analysis
• theoretical and computational fluid dynamics
• operator algebras and non commutative geometry
• algebraic topology
• algebraic geometry
• combinatorics
• quantum field theory and statistical mechanics
• conformal field theory and vertex operator algebras
• image processing
• operational research
• time series analysis
• probability theory and statistics.
