课程特征 Course Features:
The range of topics covered by the Mathematical Sciences MSc provides the breadth and depth required for advanced postgraduate study in the discipline.
Topics offered include:
•integral equations
•asymptotic theory of partial differential equations
•mathematical physics
•numerical methods
•theory of similarity and fractals
•mathematical biology
•optimal control theory
•number theory
•group theory
•algebraic geometry
•differential topology
•singularity theory
•knot theory
•dynamical systems
•statistics
•financial mathematics.
Successful completion of the first semester qualifies students for a Postgraduate Certificate, while successful completion of the first and second semesters will qualify you for a Postgraduate Diploma. Initial registration for either of these two awards is also possible.
课程内容 Course Content :
The programme has a modular structure with a total of 180 credits. In the first semester, there are three lectured modules (each 15 credits) and an instructional module in Maple and LaTeX (15 credits).
The second semester entails two lectured modules and a presentation module in which students prepare and deliver a seminar and write a mini dissertation (30 credits).
The programme finishes with a summer dissertation written under the supervision of a member of staff (60 credits).
