Mathematicians help other people to solve their problems by formulating
and solving mathematical models of the problems. For instance, they may
help engineers to model the flow of oil through the soil in order to figure
out how best to get it out of the soil; or help a businessman to work out
the fastest way to deliver his goods to his customers; or become actuaries
and make a lot of money. Our department would like to help people of all
ages and abilities share in the excitement of mathematics and understand
the vast range and importance of its application to science and commerce.
We aim to change people's attitudes to mathematics and to show the vital
contribution of mathematics to reshaping the everyday world.

Computer Science is one of the most popular and exciting fields of study
today. The information industry is vibrant and ever changing and provides
many opportunities for both research and commercial endeavors. We teach
students how to program computers, how the various components of of computer
systems work and the fundamental principles they need in order to understand
both current and emerging computer related technologies. The successful
student of computer science leaves with an understanding of computers and
computer related technologies. Graduates can use their knowledge to start
their own business or to become valued employees in companies that use
information technology. Our graduates work on everything from computing taxes
to building e-business applications. A few of the brighter ones catch the
bug and stay on at the university to create new knowledge and techniques
for future students to learn about.
