The Department of Mathematics combines leading mathematical and interdisciplinary research with high quality undergraduate and postgraduate teaching, in which we place particular emphasis on small groups and a friendly atmosphere.

We work over a wide range of specialised interests in the areas of pure mathematics (including algebra, geometry, analysis and number theory), applied mathematics (including continuum mechanics and mathematical biology), mathematical physics (including quantum information, quantum field theory and quantum gravity), mathematical finance and statistics.

Alumni: York graduates in mathematics wishing to contact the department are welcome to do so by contacting the Mathematics General Office or any current member of academic staff. Please update your contact details.

Claire Cornock has been awarded a Vice Chancellor’s teaching award

We are delighted to announce that research student Claire Cornock has been awarded a Vice Chancellor’s teaching award for her work leading seminars and tutorials in the Mathematics Department.  Vice-Chancellor's Teaching Awards were introduced in 2006 as one of the ways the University rewards excellence in learning and teaching.  This year, for the first time,  an additional category of postgraduates who teach was added, and Claire is one of only 4 people to be given the award of £500 towards the development of her professional interests.
