Mathematics
Research
A major strength of our mathematics program is the opportunity we give our students to engage in mathematical research early in their degrees. Our much sought-after summer scholarships give second- and third-year students a chance to work with world-class research mathematicians on problems at the breaking edge of mathematical research. This leads naturally into a strong and flexible honours program which has led to many students producing original research of their own in their honours year projects.
The Computer Assisted Research Mathematics and its Applications (CARMA) group has recently been established to perform research and development relating to the informed use of computers as an adjunct to mathematical discovery. CARMA brings together the expertise from the former Functional Analysis and Discrete Mathematics research groups, with a range of new staff sourced worldwide for their specialist knowledge.
As a new group, online material for CARMA is still being developed, however the following resources give an insight into past activities in mathematics research at the University of Newcastle and our future directions:
- Computer Assisted Research Mathematics and its Applications (CARMA)
- Functional Analysis
- Discrete Mathematics
- Mathematical Modelling and Physical Systems
The discipline is also involved in a Cross-Faculty ARC Centre of Excellence:
Publications
The Discipline has an excellent publication record. Information about individual publications is available through the above Research Centres and Group links, and in individual staff profiles.
Seminars
The Discipline holds regular seminars relating to the work of the above research groupings. For information about our seminar program please see the Mathematics Seminars page.
