纯粹数学和数理逻辑

Would you like to enhance your knowledge of postgraduate-level
abstract mathematics and logic? Or perhaps you wish to improve you
background knowledge prior to applying for a PhD by research in this
area?If either of the above statements apply, this could be the course for you.This one year taught postgraduate programme is a pathway from the
MSc in Pure Mathematics and leads to the degree of MSc in Pure
Mathematics and Mathematical Logic.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. On the MSc
in Pure Mathematics and Mathematical Logic Pathway, you would take the
logic units and some pure mathematics 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 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 MSc in Pure Mathematics.
