Course summary
Mathematics at Essex is not what you would expect and has a genuinely broad reach; from exploring the economic impact of the social networks of cows, to the mathematical modelling of brain evolution to improve patient care – our research explores issues of global importance. Mathematics is the language that underpins the rest of science. Our interdisciplinary research recognises that mathematics, including what can be very abstract mathematics, is an essential part of research in many other disciplines. You therefore can gain an exceptional range of knowledge and skills that are currently in demand in mathematically oriented employment; in business, commerce, industry, government service, education and in the wider economy. Topics include:
- Pure mathematics, including geometry, algebra, analysis and number theory
- Applied topics such as mathematical physics, cryptography, mathematical modelling, differential equations and dynamical systems
- Statistical, financial and analytical methods such as optimisation and the study of risk
