Mathematical Physics (MPhys)

at University of Edinburgh

Mathematical Physics aims to develop a precise quantitative understanding of the nature, structure and evolution of the physical world through the language of mathematics.

Its scope explores:
 

• quarks and leptons and the smallest fragments of the universe
• the material world we perceive directly with our senses
• stars, galaxies, and the origins and fate of the universe itself

It builds directly on the work of:
 

• Newton
• Maxwell
• Einstein
• Heisenberg
• Dirac
• Feynman
• Hawking
• Higgs
• countless others
