The School of Mathematics has a strong research culture, with researchers of international stature in each of its main specialisms.
We have:
-
around 50 members of academic staff
-
around 60 full-time postgraduate students (UK, EU and International)
-
regular research seminars and specialist meetings providing a stimulating research environment and opportunities to interact with international experts; see the Birmingham Mathematics Institute
Currently thriving at Birmingham are the following research groups:
Applied Mathematics: applied analysis, financial mathematics, fluid mechanics, mathematical biology, nonlinear waves, scientific computing
Theoretical and Computational Optimization: mathematical theory and methods applicable to managerial decision-making, particularly non-linear, discrete, and multi-criteria optimization
Pure Mathematics: algebra, analysis, combinatorics and logic
Statistics: nonparametric, robust methods, time series analysis and medical statistics
