纯粹数学

This one year taught postgraduate programme leads to the degree
of MSc in Pure Mathematics. The programme is suitable not only for
students who wish to improve their background knowledge prior to
applying to undertake a PhD by research, but also for students who wish
to enhance their knowledge of postgraduate-level abstract mathematics. 
The MSc comprises of the taught component, running from the start of the
academic year in September until the end of the second semester in late
Spring, followed by the dissertation component running from June until
September.During the taught component of the course, you will normally take
six units together with a research skills and project unit.  You may
choose exclusively pure topics, or a mixture of pure mathematics units
and mathematical logic units. In the research skills and project unit
you will first complete a mini-project to improve mathematical writing
skills, and then undertake a project. The project is normally an
expository account of a piece of mathematics and you will write this
under the guidance of a supervisor. The taught component comprises of
conventional lectures supported by examples classes, project work and
independent learning via reading material.After successfully completing the taught component, you will
prepare a dissertation on an advanced topic in pure mathematics or
mathematical logic, normally of current or recent research interest,
chosen in consultation with your supervisor. You can also take the programme part-time, over a period of two
years.  There is some flexibility in the precise arrangements for this
programme, but you would normally attend two lecture courses each
semester for three semesters before commencing work on your
dissertation.Within two weeks from the start of the academic year, students in
this programme can opt to change to the Mathematical Logic Pathways
leading to the degree of MSc in Pure Mathematics and Mathematical Logic.
