Mathematics

More than Just Numbers

Mathematics at Lincoln ranges from pure mathematics to applied mathematics. We focus on both the beauty of mathematical concepts, and how to use these concepts in meaningful ways. At Lincoln you also have the opportunity to take an interdisciplinary approach, combining mathematics with areas such as philosophy, computer science, and theoretical physics so that you can experience the numerous applications of this broad subject. Our expert academics collaborate with top research institutions such as ones located in Germany, Japan, Norway, the Netherlands, Singapore, Spain, and the USA. Their research directly informs what is taught on courses at all levels, helping to ensure that students are learning about the latest developments in the field.

Research-informed Teaching

Our students can work alongside our experienced academic staff on challenging projects, which could contribute to academic research or collaboration with industry. Teaching on all of our taught programmes is conducted by academic members of staff who are active researchers in their fields, and this research directly informs teaching at all levels.

Visiting Speakers

We regularly welcomes guest speakers from around the world. Recent visitors to the University of Lincoln have included former vice president of the Royal Astronomical Society Professor Don Kurtz, mathematician and author Professor Marcus du Sautoy OBE, and operations research specialist Ruth Kaufman OBE.
