Department Faculty
In modern society there are very few areas of knowledge and practice in which mathematics does not play a part. These increasingly include areas which affect our quality of life, such as health-related studies and environmental issues, as well as the contributions mathematics continues to make in commerce, science and technology. Consequently, as a subject of study, mathematics possesses great diversity, and it offers a wide range of opportunities to identify areas, which relate to your own interests, concerns, and aspirations.
TEACHING AND ASSESSMENT
Small tutorial groups in which problems are considered and individual work discussed, form an integral part of each course along with larger formal lectures, 'surgeries' and problem classes are held to deal with specific individual difficulties. To encourage an increasingly independent approach to learning, courses are delivered through lectures only, and individual tutorial assistance is given by lectures on the student's initiative. Current methods of student assessment include conventional written examinations, a variety of coursework assignments and, in some cases, a combination of these methods.
SYLLABUS
PAPER I) Differential Equations, Vector Calculus, Group Theory and Number Theory.
PAPER II) Real Analysis and Three Dimensions.
PAPER III) Ring Theory, Vector Spaces. Matrices and Inner Product.
PAPER IV) Numerical Analysis/linear Programming Problem (LPP).
SKILLS AND CAREERS
As well as the specific expertise and skills relating to course content, students will continually be developing the kind of logical and analytical thinking which characterizes the discipline of mathematics. It is this quality which marks out the mathematics graduate, not only as a skilled practical scientist, but also as a potential strategic planner and decision maker in any complex situation. Therefore there are many opportunities open to well qualified mathematicians in industry, commerce, finance, education and research. About three-quarters of our graduates enter careers associated with computing, statistics, operational research, actuarial and insurance fields, accountancy and teaching.
