Research
The research interests of the Department cover several areas of Pure Mathematics and Applied Mathematics. These areas are not mutually exclusive and there are considerable benefits from interactions between the different areas that enhance the research environment. Both Pure and Applied are highly rated internationally for their research and most members of the Department have ongoing collaborations with mathematicians overseas and elsewhere in the UK, and many overseas mathematicians spend periods in Glasgow working with members of the Department.
There are several series of research seminars with invited speakers from the UK and overseas and also a regular postgraduate seminar where our PhD students can develop their presentational skills. All this helps to generate a lively and mutually supportive research environment, which has led to the award of coveted prizes and competitive Fellowships for several of our younger staff.
The main areas of research are broadly described within the headings below. Follow the links to more detailed descriptions.

The Department recognizes the importance of conveying its activities and the significance of research in the mathematical sciences to a wider audience. We are also committed to attracting the brightest students to our university and we run a series of outreach programmes such as Mathematics Masterclasses, a School Ambassador Programme, and Mathematics Afternoons with mathematical games and puzzles in addition to where the general public and prospective students can get to know our Department and its staff members. These activities involve the whole Department, but are the particular province of the group of staff working on
