Coronavirus (COVID-19) update: Department of Mathematics
My colleagues and I expect to be teaching online for the immediate future, and are working hard to make sure that everyone has both the teaching materials and the interactive sessions they need to support, and enable them to engage fully in their learning.
We cannot run the in-person teaching sessions we enjoy, but we aim to create the best possible online alternatives, and to keep our friendly atmosphere, personal contact and small-group teaching.
Professor Niall MacKay, Head of Department, January 5, 2021
