international reputation for excellence in each. It was ranked third
for applied mathematics, joint fourth for statistics, and joint fifth
for pure mathematics based on the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise
(RAE) 2008. It is one of the largest schools in the Faculty of Science
and currently provides around 70 postgraduates with a vibrant and
stimulating place to work. Fourteen per cent of mathematics students
were from overseas in 2011/12, one of the largest international
communities in the faculty.

Research Groups Research groups in Applied Mathematics include
dynamical systems and statistical mechanics, mathematical physics
(quantum chaos, random matrix theory, quantum information,
condensed-matter theory), fluid dynamics (complex fluids, experimental
mathematics, turbulence, waves, granular flows), materials science,
and scientific computing.

Research groups in Pure Mathematics include algebra (representation
theory of groups and algebras, homological algebra, algebraic
topology), analysis (partial differential equations and spectral
theory), ergodic theory and dynamical systems (dimension theory in
dynamical systems, dynamics of group actions, Teichmüller dynamics),

theory (algorithmic number theory, analytic number theory and
Diophantine geometry).

The Statistics group's research projects include the modelling of
random phenomena, methods for the analysis of data, and computational
techniques for performing this modelling and analysis. The
applications of this research are many and varied, ranging from the
analysis of solar flares to robot navigation, from the behaviour of
socially organised animals to traffic queues and from genetic research
to signal processing.
