More information about the Mathematics Discipline

Mathematics is the science of quantity, space and spatial relations, change and structure. It employs theories and methods to discover patterns and formulate laws. Through abstraction and logical reasoning, mathematics is used for counting, calculations and measurements of any kind. This science is very frequently used in day to day life and is essential even for the activity of many other fields. Applied mathematics is focused on the use of mathematical knowledge in other fields like science and engineering, while pure mathematics is concerned with the filed itself. Statistics, game theory and computational mathematics are a few of the disciplines that have evolved from applied mathematics.

A student graduating from mathematics studies will have numeracy skills, knowledge of arithmetic, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, good grasp of mathematical concepts and strong deductive reasoning, just to name a few. The graduates can also dedicate themselves to a teaching oriented career, in which they have to combine the mathematics related knowledge with pedagogy skills and convey the knowledge further to students.

  • PhD in Assistant / Associate Professor (UD/UHD) in Statistics

    The Department of Mathematics of the Faculty of Sciences invites applications for a position in Statistics. The position will be offered on the level UD or UHD (Assistant or Associate Professor), depending on the level of experience and scientific background of the candidate.

  • PhD in ALGANT-DOC ALgebra, Geometry and Number Theory

    The ALGANT-DOC international joint doctoral programme is set up by the ALGANT consortium that now consists of eight universities on four continents, namely the universities of Bordeaux (France), Chennai (India), Leiden (Netherlands), Milano (Italy), Concordia (Montréal, Canada), Padova (Italy), Paris-Sud (France) and Stellenbosch (South Africa).

  • PhD in PhD in Statistics

    Within the Doctoral School at Università Bocconi, the four-year PhD program in Statistics gives students a thorough preparation in Statistics from both a Bayesian and a Classical perspective. Students may specialize in Theoretical or in Applied Statistics: close working relationships with PhD programs in cognate disciplines at Bocconi give students the opportunity to generate research topics in both Theoretical and Applied Statistics from research issues in other disciplines (Business Administration & Management, Economics, Finance).

  • PhD in PhD Studentship in Micro Air Vehicle “Flying with Vision”

    A fully-funded studentship is available for a PhD on the topic of autonomous indoor flight of a Micro Air Vehicle (MAV) using computer vision. The focus of the project is on the guidance, sensing and control aspects of the problem.

  • PhD in Engineering Doctorate/ Professional Doctorate in Digital Media

    The Engineering Doctorate (EngD) at the Centre for Digital Entertainment (CDE) is a collaboration between the University of Bath and Bournemouth University. It offers the opportunity to conduct research in an industrial context. Industrial collaborators come from the fields of computer games, VFX, image processing, graphics and animation. The program lasts 4 years, of which 3 will be spent in a company engaged on research projects, one on Masters level courses.
