Course content

The seminars range across many areas of pure and applied mathematics. The emphasis is on topics in discrete mathematics, algorithms and game theory. The seminars are regarded as an important part of research students' formal training and they will all be expected to attend and contribute.  Throughout the academic year, students are also invited to give presentations.

There are additional reading groups aimed at students working in financial mathematics and discrete mathematics. These are compulsory for students working in this area but other students of the MPhil/PhD in Mathematics are welcome to attend.
