Departmental Resources
This page outlines the facilities and resources available within the Department. These are a mixture of teaching and research resources.
Teaching Resources
Library
The Mathematics library is housed on the fourth floor of the Physical Sciences Building, allowing easy access for students to browse texts and find a quiet place to work between lectures.
Lecture Theatres
A range of lecture theatres are also contained within the building, meaning that Mathematics and Physics students can find all the facilities and resources required for their studies located under one roof.
Computer Rooms
The Honours Laboratory on the second floor of the Physical Sciences Building offers more than sixty computers during office hours. In addition, the recently upgraded wireless network in the building allows students to connect wherever they want to work.
Lobby
The newly refurbished lobby provides a relaxation space for students between lectures. Vending machines provide drinks and snacks.
Research Resources
Synthetic Environment Laboratory
The SEL houses the virtual reality equipment to allow researchers to visualise their data in 3D.
Supercomputing Facilities
A 128 node, quad core supercomputer housed in the department allows researchers to run state-of-the-art simulations of e.g., atomic interactions, astrophysical phenomena, and foams.
