Undergraduate Prospectus 2017 | Mathematics Mathematics Key Information Why study this course? Our teaching is excellent, as evidenced by Mathematics at Keele having been consistently ranked in the top ten in the UK in the National Student Survey. On this course you will explore the beauty, elegance and practicality of pure mathematics, applied mathematics and statistics. You will learn to use maths to develop precise and logical arguments, construct rigorous proofs, and formulate solutions to new problems. You will study in an intellectually stimulating environment amongst mathematicians producing world-leading research. There is an option to take this degree over four years, by adding a year abroad studying (in English) at one of our partner institutions – which could be anywhere from Australia to Finland, Japan or the USA. Indicative modules First year • Algebra • Calculus • Investigations and Problem Solving Second year • Differential Equations • Probability • Dynamics • Complex Variable and Vector Calculus • Mathematical Modelling • Abstract Algebra Third year • Professional Mathematics • Partial Differential Equations • Group Theory • Metric Spaces and Toplogy • Codes and Cryptography • Time Series • Graph Theory • Fluid Mechanics • Logic • Linear Algebra • Non-linear Differential Equations • Relativity • Numerical Analysis • Number Theory • Mathematical Biology • Waves • Medical Statistics • Ring and Field Theory • Perturbation Methods What will this mean for my future? Mathematics helps you to take novel approaches to problem solving and make critical interpretations of data and text; your skills will be in demand wherever there’s a need for logical thinking. An extremely wide range of career paths is open to mathematicians, where high levels of mathematical ability are desirable. This can include fields of work as diverse as finance, data analytics, teaching, engineering, medical statistics and management consultancy.

Maths is one of the most rewarding subjects you can do, even though it is hard work at times, the end result falling into place will always give you a feeling similar to that of an adrenaline shot.
