Applied mathematics is the branch of mathematics focused on developing mathematical methods and applying them to solve real-world problems in science, engineering, industry and technology. Computational mathematics utilises computational techniques and simulations to produce problem-solving techniques and methodologies. This programme is aimed at students who wish to gain a deep understanding of the concepts of modern applied mathematics, and a mastery of the associated mathematical and computational skills. Our students will become autonomous learners capable of formulating and creatively solving relevant problems through techniques in mathematical and computational modeling. Our students will become flexible enough in their thinking and training to apply these techniques to a wide range of fields in the traditional application areas in the Physical Sciences, but also in emerging application areas, such as finance and biology. Our graduates will be in demand by employers and academic research institutes for their ability to use the tools they have learned to explain, describe and predict. We value students who are motivated to find the underlying physical causes for observations and patterns. We aim to provide a teaching and learning environment that develops confidence and independence through a wide variety of interactive formats, both inside and outside the classroom, including lectures, tutorials, on-line course material and computer assisted labs.
Graduates with training in Applied & Computational Mathematics work in fields as diverse as analytics and forecasting, meteorology, energy systems, electronics, biomedical applications and bio-information, finance, pharmaceutical industry, environmental agencies and companies, and computing in business, technology, research, and academia.
