数学是人类伟大的智力冒险之一，尽管它始于数千年前，但从未像现在这样活跃。它是所有科学领域中必不可少的工具，但是与物理学之间的联系特别漫长而富有成果。从古希腊人到牛顿，再到爱因斯坦，再到今天的希格斯玻色子，这两个主题已经齐头并进。数学是表达物理的语言，物理学中的问题导致了许多数学的发展。大学一级的数学是要彻底理解为什么事情是正确的，为什么程序会达到结果，它们的局限性是什么。这样一来，我们便具备了将我们的知识推广或应用到新情况中的能力。数学是一门学科，我们从基本真理或明确陈述的假设开始，然后仅根据推理得出结论
This programme allows you to study these closely related subjects in equal depth. You will normally be able to switch to single honours programmes in either subject during your first two years. It is also possible for well-prepared applicants to take this as an accelerated programme and enter directly into Year 2.Our graduates have a range of careers open to them. The logical and analytical abilities, together with the presentation and practical problem-solving skills you will develop, are sought by employers. Many recent graduates have been employed by large firms in the financial sector. Others have gone into fields including software engineering, logistics, education and civil service. We regularly invite alumni back to the School to share their experiences with students and to showcase the breadth of careers available to maths graduates. There are many opportunities within the School for you to develop your skills and enhance your CV. Share your love of mathematics by working with the wider community as a member of our Outreach Team, join our team of Student Ambassadors and enthuse prospective students, become a MathPALs leader and support Year 1 students, or apply for a project scholarship and work with a lecturer during the summer.
