Research In The Department.

Research Groups:

	Algebra
	A branch of mathematics that generalizes arithmetic and vectors to an abstract system of objects with certain relations and operations allowed.

	Continuum Modelling
	The Continuum Modelling Group has interests across the fields of colloid science, medicine, chemical engineering and materials processing.

	Geometry & Topology
	The study of the properties of, and relationships between, points, lines, and planes, and with generalisations of these concepts.

	Operations Research
	Operations Research (OR) provides a scientific approach to decision making. It involves formulating mathematical models of these problems, and developing mathematical tools to obtain solutions.

	Statistical Mechanics & Combinatorics
	The study of the macroscopic properties of large assemblies of objects based on their microscopic interactions. Physical properties are often a consequence of geometry and the natural numbers!

	Statistics
	Statistics is the science of collecting, organising and interpreting data. Mathematical descriptions of the data collection processes and the statistical analysis are used to determine accurate statistical methods.

	Stochastic Processes
	This group studies a variety of areas, from the theory of branching processes to applications such as stochastic models of the stock market.
