Honours projects in the School of Mathematical Sciences
These web pages are intended to help you to choose an Honours project and
supervisor. Here you will find a description of the staff members in the
School of Mathematical Sciences who are likely to be available to
supervise an Honours project in 2008, together with descriptions of their
projects or areas of interest.
You might like to browse these pages to see what interests you. Once you
have narrowed down your choice, it is important for you to discuss
potential projects with the staff members concerned. There are sevaral
reasons for this: (i) the project is a major investment of your time, and
you should be well informed before undertaking it; (ii) it may be possible
to tailor projects in a given area to your background knowledge and
interests; (iii) the project may already be taken; (iv) the staff member
needs to agree to take you on, and that you are suitably qualified for
a particular project.
Project descriptions are categorised here as one of Applied Mathematics,
Pure Mathematics or Statistics, although clearly some projects will overlap
two or more of these broad areas.
Also bear in mind that your choice of project is not strictly limited to the
lists given. If you have a particular project of your own in mind, or would
like to spend time reading in a general area before focussing on a specific
project, this can also be accommodated. In these cases you must discuss the
possibilities with a member of staff whose interests match yours. These web
pages should give you a good indication of the research interests of staff;
in addition, the Honours coordinators can also suggest who you should approach.

Applied,
Pure,
Statistics.
We look forward to meeting you all. With best
wishes for an enjoyable and successful year of Honours
studies.

School of Mathematical Sciences Honours Coordinator
