We carry out research of world class excellence spanning topics in Pure Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics (at DPMMS), and Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics (at DAMTP).
Our innovative education programmes and outreach events support teachers and school students worldwide, and share the excitement of the subject with the public.
Contagious Maths: bringing mathematical research into the classroom
New resources launched by Professor Julia Gog and the Faculty's outreach project link mathematical research to the school curriculum, to highlight the role of maths in tackling real-world problems.
