Welcome to the Bangor Mathematics Web Pages
Mathematics was one of the founding departments when the University
opened in 1884.
Having been a Department of Mathematics;
then separate Departments of Pure and Applied Mathematics;
and later a School of Mathematics;
it's final form was as the Mathematics Division in the School of Informatics.
When the University was reorganised into Colleges in August 2006, what was
left of Mathematics became part of the new School of Computer Science.
The final cohort of Mathematics graduates obtained their degrees
in July 2007.
A number of retired staff retain honorary research positions,
and this site aims to be an archive of past and current research.
It also provides links to Popularisation activities,
such as the
Centre for the Popularisation of Mathematics
and the
Royal Institution Mathematics Masterclasses in North-West Wales.
