The course is really interesting with a range of maths, from statistics to pure and computer mathematics. Derby is a friendly, safe city to live in that I would recommend to anyone. Alastair Williams
Teaching and learning Formal lectures are supported by smaller tutorial groups and labs where the consolidation of understanding and problem solving take place. A weekly mathematics drop-in clinic ensures you will have access to help when needed, and staff are always willing to see you on a one-to-one basis. What you will cover You will study differential and integral calculus, linear algebra, numerical methods, standard analytical techniques, statistics, operational research, programming techniques, computational mathematics, databases, networks and security, and topics in computer science. The Mathematics Group Project module enables you to experience working as a mathematician on a real and complex problem specified by industrial managers.
