Mathematics

About this course

Mathematics is the purest of the analytical disciplines, concerned with the rigorous study of structure, quantity, pattern, and change. It provides the language and tools that underlie all quantitative science, and the thinking it develops, precise, logical, and capable of working through abstraction, is among the most transferable of all intellectual skills. A mathematics degree is both a profound intellectual journey and one of the most versatile qualifications you can earn. At the University of Sheffield this three-year full-time degree allows you to tailor your studies to your interests and career goals, exploring the topics that matter most to you while gaining the fundamental knowledge that every mathematician needs. You will study core areas including analysis, algebra, calculus, probability, and statistics, and can move into more specialist areas in pure or applied mathematics a
