Swansea University Postgraduate Prospectus 2021

MATHEMATICS BAY CAMPUS

MATHEMATICS MSC By Research/ MPhil/PhD FT PT We invite applications from well-qualified candidates whose research interests correspond to our areas of research expertise focused around the following research groups. Algebra, Geometry and Topology Group Our research explores many aspects of modern theories of geometry and associated algebraic machinery. Analysis and Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations Group We are a vibrant group working on an analysis of nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) from a range of perspectives. Biomaths Group The group applies state-of-the-art mathematical and computational techniques to address research problems from biosciences, life sciences, and medicine. Computational Mathematics Group We develop and analyse novel computational and numerical methods, studying their applications

Probability Group Our research explores many aspects of modern theories of stochastic processes, and more generally random fields with applications to finance, mathematical biology, mathematical physics, data simulation and beyond. Mathematics Education The education research group was formed in 2014 as part of the Mathematics Department’s growing interest in and influence over school mathematics education in Wales. Further information on our research can be found on our website: swansea.ac.uk/maths/ research-and-impact

STOCHASTIC PROCESSES: THEORY AND APPLICATION MRes FT PT The MRes in Stochastic Processes is delivered through optional modules for the taught element followed by a large research project that contributes to the field in an explicit way, rather than merely applying existing knowledge. English Language Requirement IELTS 6.0 (minimum of 5.5 in each component) or Swansea University recognised equivalent. RESEARCH COURSES Entry Requirements Typically a 2:1 honours degree or a master's degree with merit in mathematics or related subject or an equivalent qualification.

Topics typically include: • Financial mathematics • Lévy processes and more general jump processes • Stochastic infinite dimensional analysis

to multiple areas such as Computational Topology,

Data Science, Lattice Gauge Theory, Mathematical Biology, Cancer Research and Applied Algebraic Geometry.
