Pure Mathematics Research

Research in pure mathematics has a long and distinguished history at Newcastle University. Our current research focuses on five areas.

More information can be found on the personal pages of individual researchers.

PhD opportunities

Considering postgraduate research in pure maths? We welcome applications in all five of our research areas. You can suggest your own project or choose from a list of suggested projects. 

Before applying for a research degree, you should find a supervisor from our staff. They should specialise in the area of research you're interested in.

Seminars

We have two weekly seminars, covering Functional Analysis and Algebra and Geometry. About three times a term we put on a more general colloquium.

We are active members of three regional seminar series:

All of these series are funded by the London Mathematical Society. The NBGGT seminar is coordinated from Newcastle and is also funded by the Glasgow Mathematical Journal.

Networks

We are one of the nodes of CoDiMa (CCP in the area of Computational Discrete Mathematics) network which is run by Prof S Linton, University of St Andrews. For more information, visit the University of St Andrews Computer Science Blog.
