Applied Mathematics/Pure Mathematics

About this course

Mathematics divides into pure and applied branches that are complementary rather than separate. Pure mathematics is concerned with abstract structures, proof and the rigorous development of mathematical ideas for their own sake, pursuing precision and logical completeness as ends in themselves. Applied mathematics takes the tools and techniques of mathematical analysis and deploys them to model and understand the physical world, from fluid dynamics and classical mechanics to probability and optimisation. Studying both develops a rare combination of abstract reasoning and practical problem-solving capability. At Aberystwyth University, this three-year full-time programme allows you to engage with both dimensions of the discipline, building a thorough grounding in the techniques and ideas that underpin modern mathematics. You will study analysis, algebra, differential equations, numerical
