Study at Department of Mathematics
Maths is a language that is international, precise, concise and powerful. It is the key to exploring and understanding the secrets of nature and the universe, from the smallest particle to black holes. It gives us the tools to decode patterns, relationships and to express laws of nature and other truths. Maths helps us understand the world - and we use the world to understand mathematics.
