Mathematics is the language of physics. It is the means by which theories of physics are described and how the complex mathematical relations between force fields, matter and light are expressed. For physicists working at the frontiers of modern physics, there is a great need to be able to cope with advanced mathematical techniques. This degree has a 50% component of mathematics and 50% component of physics and is ideal for more mathematically minded physicists.
