Research in the School of Mathematics and Statistics
Research Groups
Applied Mathematics
Applies analytical and computational techniques
to the modelling of phenomena in the real world.
The Pure Mathematics research group is composed of four subgroups, as follows.
Algebra
Focuses on the structural themes that underpin and
interrelate the different branches and applications of mathematics.
Analysis
Covers a broad area of analytic mathematics, including analytic
number theory and probability.
Computational Algebra
Designs powerful algorithms capable of answering a great variety of questions in
mathematics.
Geometry and Topology
Studies the global structure of the sets of solutions of systems of
equations, considered as higher dimensional analogues of curves and
surfaces in space.
Nonlinear Analysis
Studies nonlinear equations (including ordinary and
partial differential equations), and their applications.
Statistics
Used in all areas of the sciences and social sciences, and underlies
the making of scientific inferences under uncertainty.
SUTMEG
Sydney University Tertiary Mathematics Education Group (SUTMEG)
focuses on activities
and discussions relating to teaching mathematics at a tertiary level.
