At a Glance
Mathematics is a fundamental, intellectually rich discipline that underpins new advances in many other subject areas, as well as being of enormous importance in its own right. The range of research activities in the Mathematical Sciences is extremely broad - from theoretical, curiosity driven research in Pure Mathematics to generic, methodological research in Applied Mathematics and Statistics, which is often motivated by important applications.
What research do we do in Mathematical Sciences at Nottingham? We undertake high quality research in a broad and diverse range of areas of mathematics and statistics. We have very active groups of researchers in each of the three divisions of the School, and specific research areas are detailed in the following research pages:
The School obtained a rating of 5 in all three units in the 2001 Research Assessment Exercise, demonstrating that the quality of our research is at an international level.
Research Centres
The School houses two Research Centres in Mathematical Medicine and Industrial Mathematics. These Centres foster collaborations and joint activity in specific fields with other disciplines. The Centre for Mathematical Medicine has obtained a very large amount of recent Research Council funding for research projects and study groups. Two recent examples are key involvements in the Centre for Plant Integrative Biology (CPIB) and in Mathematics for Regenerative Medicine.
Environment and facilities
The environment and facilities for carrying out research are superb. Many of our researchers in all three Divisions use computational methods, and we make good use to the University's 1000 node GRID computational facility.
The School provides a stimulating environment for PhD study, which involves carrying out an extensive research project on a new topic in Mathematics under the guidance of a supervisor.
Research by our staff also informs many of the School's other activities, for example our wide range of 4th year options in the MMath undergraduate degree and our MSc courses.
