Pure Mathematics
Pure Mathematics is primarily concerned with questions that originate from inside mathematics and is often viewed as the field of most abstract mathematical thinking. We offer courses with a strong connection to modern research developments. This track covers a very broad range of core areas including algebra, analysis, geometry, topology, number theory, and logic.
About this study curriculum
You can choose from a range of courses in:
- Algebra and Number Theory: e.g., Analytical Methods in Number Theory, Category Theory and Homological Algebra, Lie Algebras
- Analysis: e.g., Calculus of Variations, Lie Groups, Operator Algebras
- Geometry and Topology: e.g., Algebraic Topology, Differential Geometry, Non-commutative Geometry, Riemann Surfaces
- Logic and Computability: e.g., Complexity Theory, Computer Algebra, Model Theory, Probabilistic Combinatorics
