BSc Mathematics with Applied Mathematics/Mathematical Physics
About this course
BSc in Mathematics with Applied Mathematics/Mathematical Physics, a physics and mathematics degree exploring advanced mathematical concepts and their applications to physical theory. Core topics include Programming, Data Analysis, Statistics, Mathematical Modelling, Research Methods, and Communication & Writing. The curriculum includes a specialisation in Applied Mathematics/Mathematical Physics focusing on scientific computation and the dynamics of games. The first year covers foundational concepts through Introduction to University Mathematics, Analysis 1, Linear Algebra and Groups, and Calculus and Applications. Year two advances these themes through Linear Algebra and Numerical Analysis, Analysis 2, Multi-variable Calculus and Differential Equations, and Partial Differential Equations in Action, alongside a Group Research Project and an individual research component in the first year. Students can also choose from optional modules such as Groups and Rings, Lebesgue Measure and Integration, Probability for Statistics, Principles of Programming, and Classical Mechanics.
