数学和物理科学学院活跃于许多研究领域。我们的数学，物理和统计学研究小组在吸引竞争激烈的澳大利亚研究委员会拨款计划，行业和其他政府组织的资金方面非常成功。我们的研究人员参与了大学的四个优先研究中心，并且学校是最佳计划和运营中心（C-OPT）的所在地，该中心为在商业，工业的许多领域做出的决策提供了科学和数学基础和政府。正如高引用率所表明的那样，我们的研究出版物具有很大的影响力，并且我们在数学领域拥有特别强大的国家形象。
The School of Mathematical and Physical Sciences has established an enviable reputation for our teaching and research standards largely due to our high-calibre staff. In response to the demand for graduates with quantitative and analytical skills, we have a range of flexible degree options for students to tailor their studies. The School of Mathematical and Physical Sciences is active in many areas of research. Our research groups in mathematics, physics and statistics attract funding from industry, the highly competitive Australian Research Council Grant schemes and other governmental organisations. Our researchers are involved with four of the University's Priority Research Centres and the School is home to the Centre for Optimal Planning and Operations (C-OPT), which provides a scientific and mathematical basis for the decisions that are made in many areas of business, industry and government. Our research publications have a strong impact, as indicated by high citation rates, and we have a particularly strong national profile in mathematics. We have internationally recognised expertise in the areas of analysis, number theory, optimisation, surface physics, plasma waves and statistics.
