What the college says

Pure (Core) Mathematics is studied mainly for its beauty and intellectual training, though many techniques are vital to Applied Mathematics as well as the Sciences, Geography and Economics. This aspect is mainly algebra based, but includes such areas as calculus, trigonometric functions, vectors, numerical methods and series. Students will also study two aspects of Applied Mathematics, namely, Mechanics and Statistics. Mechanics is the theoretical study of objects acted on by forces encompassing both kinematics and statics of particles. Topics include moments, centres of mass, mechanical energy and collisions. Statistics deals with the organisation, analysis and interpretation of numerical data, in particular, a supplied data set.
