Mathematics and Physics

About this course

Mathematics and physics together represent two of the most fundamental disciplines in science, and the combination is more than merely convenient: mathematics is the language in which the laws of physics are written, and the development of physics has been one of the primary drivers of mathematical progress. Studying both simultaneously gives you a richer understanding of each than either alone provides, developing the rigour and precision of mathematical thinking alongside the physical intuition needed to connect abstract structures to the observable world. At Bath this three-year full-time programme develops a thorough grounding in both disciplines, covering pure and applied mathematics alongside the core areas of physics including classical mechanics, electromagnetism, quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, and modern physics. You will carry out a fifteen-credit final-year project, choos
