Graduate Studies in Analysis, Geometry, Topology
From MathsDept
Overview - Research - Undergraduates - Graduates - Seminar series
The Analysis, Geometry and Topology group in this department is by far the strongest in New Zealand. Do you wish to pursue (post)graduate studies in analysis, geometry, topology or related areas (such as mathematical physics)? We would love to hear from you. Please contact one of the members of the group. We will be happy to advise you about possible projects, scholarship support and future opportunities.
Contact details and other staff-related information can be obtained from the department directory.
Graduate courses in Analysis, Geometry, Topology and related fields
For details on graduate studies, please see the Graduate students pages.
The following courses can be taken as part of a Mathematics degree or postgraduate diploma in Science or Arts, as well as part of Applied Mathematics, Physics, Computer Science, Statistics or other degrees.
- MATHS 725 Lie Groups and Algebras
- MATHS 730 Measure Theory and Integration
- MATHS 731 Functional Analysis
- MATHS 735 Analysis on Manifolds and Differential Geometry
- MATHS 740 Complex Analysis
- MATHS 750 Topology
Graduate research in Analysis, Geometry and Topology
You are welcome to choose one of the supervised research projects on offer, or propose a research topic.
A very valuable research opportunity arises for either graduate or senior undergraduate students in the form of the Summer Scholarships. Applications open in August, for an 8 to10 weeks scholarship, between November and February.
Career opportunities
Below are a few examples of careers where a background in Geometry, Mathematical Analysis or Topology or other Pure Mathematics fields is a plus:
