Programme DescriptionFor this degree published scientific work(s) of a high standard, which have made a substantial and outstanding contribution to the knowledge of Mathematics, is required from you.
This division is responsible for teaching and doing research in pure Mathematics. This is firstly a curiosity-driven area, and our researchers are motivated by mathematical intricacy, which can then lead to applications.
This division also hosts a South African Research Chairs Initiative (SARChI) chair in Mathematical and Theoretical Physical Biosciences, in conjunction with the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences (AIMS).Postgraduate students undertake research with academics in the following fields:
FIELDS OF STUDY
