Mathematical Physics

About this course

Mathematical physics is one of the most intellectually demanding and rewarding of the physical sciences, concerned with using the tools of advanced mathematics to describe, predict, and understand the laws of nature. From classical mechanics and thermodynamics through to quantum field theory and general relativity, the subject demands both rigorous mathematical reasoning and deep physical intuition. At the University of Nottingham, this three-year, full-time degree brings together two disciplines that have always depended on one another, equipping you with the capacity to move fluently between abstract theory and physical reality. You will study areas including differential equations, linear algebra, and complex analysis alongside the physical frameworks they describe, from electromagnetism and wave phenomena to quantum mechanics and statistical physics.
