Centre for Mathematical Sciences, Cambridge

TheFaculty of Mathematics at theUniversity of Cambridge comprises theDepartment of Pure Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics (DPMMS) and theDepartment of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics (DAMTP). It is housed in theCentre for Mathematical Sciences site in WestCambridge, alongside theIsaac Newton Institute. Many distinguished mathematicians have been members of the faculty.

Pure Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics

[edit]

The Department of Pure Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics (DPMMS) was created in 1964 under the headship ofSir William Hodge.[1] It was housed in a converted warehouse at 16 Mill Lane, adjacent to its sister department DAMTP, until its move around 2000 to the presentCentre for Mathematical Sciences where it occupies Pavilions C, D, and E.

Statistical Laboratory

[edit]

The Statistical Laboratory is a Sub-Department of DPMMS.[2] It was created in 1947 with accommodation in a "temporary hut", and was established on 21 March 1953 within the Faculty of Mathematics.[1] It moved in 1958 to the basement of the new Chemistry Department in Lensfield Road, and then formed part of the new Department (DPMMS) in Mill Lane on its creation in 1964. It occupies Pavilion D of theCentre for Mathematical Sciences.

Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics

[edit]
Department of Applied Mathematics & Theoretical Physics is based atCentre for Mathematical Sciences.

The Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics (DAMTP) was founded byGeorge Batchelor in 1959, and for many years was situated on Silver Street, in the former office buildings ofCambridge University Press.[3] However since the opening of theIsaac Newton Institute in 1991, the Department has been located at theCentre for Mathematical Sciences (Cambridge). Theoretical Physics (includingcosmology,relativity, andhigh energy physics) occupies most of Pavilion B, while Applied Mathematics (includingfluid dynamics andsolid mechanics) occupies most of Pavilions F, G, and H.
