Mathematics is the study of structure, pattern, and logical reasoning, a discipline of extraordinary precision and depth that provides the language and the tools for understanding everything from the behaviour of elementary particles to the dynamics of financial markets. Pure mathematics explores the properties of abstract mathematical objects, driven by the internal logic and beauty of the discipline, while applied mathematics brings mathematical methods to bear on problems in science, engineering, and other fields. At the University of Essex, this three-year full-time programme gives you a thorough and rigorous mathematical education that develops your ability to construct precise arguments, identify underlying structure, and apply mathematical tools across a range of contexts. You will study analysis, algebra, probability, statistics, and further pure and applied topics, developing b
