Mathematics

About this course

Mathematics is the discipline of precise reasoning about abstract structures, and it is one of the oldest and most enduring of human intellectual endeavours. At the undergraduate level it encompasses a remarkable range of territory, from the rigorous proof-based work of pure mathematics, which explores algebra, analysis, topology and number theory for their intrinsic interest and beauty, to applied mathematics, which uses mathematical tools to model the physical world, and to statistics and probability, which provide the foundations for reasoning under uncertainty. What unites these branches is the discipline of argument: in mathematics, a claim is only as good as its proof. At Bristol this three-year full-time programme offers a rigorous foundation across the full range of the discipline, allowing you to explore different areas in the early years before choosing where to concentrate yo
