Location of Imperial College London
The Pure Mathematics MSc course may be taken full or part-time, and it runs for 12 or 24 months respectively starting in October each year. Suitable applicants would normally have a good Honours degree in mathematics or a related subject.
A wide range of lecture modules will be available in analysis, geometry and topology, algebra, number theory and combinatorics. Each module will normally last for one term, and students will be examined in eight modules, as well as writing a substantial project.
The programmes aim to:
* · Provide high quality education in Mathematics within an environment committed to excellence in both teaching and research.
* · Attract well-qualified students and to provide intellectual challenge in a structure containing an appropriate amount of flexibility, so that students can develop their specialist interests.
* · Teach and provide the opportunities to learn a core of advanced (Pure or Applied) mathematics, together with a range of more specialised options in Mathematics.· Introduce students to a wide range of applications of Mathematics.
* · Equip students with a range of mathematical skills - in problem-solving, project work and presentation - to enable them to take prominent roles in a wide spectrum of employment and research.
* · Provide further breadth and depth of Mathematics beyond BSc, at a level comparable with the 4th year of an MSci.
Contents
Each degree programme is offered as a full-time 1-year course or a 2-year part-time course and leads to the MSc degree. The programme is organised into components of value ½ a course unit, with students taking 4 units in the year, or 2 units in each year for part-time students.
The project is outside the course unit system, but counts towards the overall result. Written examinations are normally held in May/June of each year. There are resit examinations the following year, where necessary.There is a compulsory extended project. The 8 lectured courses which make up the programme must usually be taken from the Imperial College London taught course MSc programme in Pure Mathematics, (these modules are equivalent to those given as part of the fourth year of the Mathematics MSci).
Courses offered as part of other MSc courses in other Departments, and in Colleges of the University of London may also be taken, with the approval of the MSc Course Organiser.
The following is a guide to the modules that will be available for study.
Analysis
* Elliptic partial differential equations
* Fourier series, probability
* Functional analysis
* Measure and integration
* Potential theory
* Stochastic analysis
* Stochastic processes
Geometry, topology, number theory
* Algebraic topology, differential geometry, algebraic geometry

* Elliptic curves and diophantine equations
* Geometry of curves and surfaces
Algebra and combinatorics

* Group theory
* Lie algebras and algebraic groups
* Representation theory
* Rings and modules
