Mathematics and Physics

About this course

Mathematics and physics is one of the most demanding and most rewarding of all undergraduate combinations, addressing the two disciplines that together provide the deepest account of how the natural world works. Mathematics provides the language of physical theory, the rigorous framework within which physical laws are formulated and their consequences derived. Physics supplies the content and the questions, asking how matter, energy, space, and time are structured and governed, from the quantum scale to the cosmological. Studying them together means developing fluency in both the mathematical reasoning and the physical intuition that the most powerful scientific work requires. At the University of Surrey this three-year programme gives you a deeper understanding of mathematics than a single physics degree would typically include, and applies that understanding to the solution of physics
