About Us
Oxford Mathematics
Mathematics is the engine behind Science in the 21st Century. It has both an inherent logic and beauty while also providing the structure and models from which physicists, chemists, biologists, medics, engineers, economists and social scientists build an understanding of our world and construct the tools to improve our lives.
Mathematics in Oxford embraces this power and diversity by combining its pure and applied mathematicians in one department and one building, ensuring collaborations both within and beyond Oxford. We have over 850 undergraduates, more than 550 masters and doctoral postgraduate students, and over 200 academic staff (faculty, research fellows and postdoctoral researchers) studying and working across all fields of mathematics from Number Theory to understanding the mechanics of the human brain.
