Welcome message from Professor Mat Collins
Welcome to the University of Exeter. We are absolutely delighted you have chosen to join us here, and we will do everything we can to make sure your time here is both enjoyable and educational. The subject of mathematics lies right at the core of human endeavour: not only is it an intellectual challenge itself but it also provides the language of the sciences, and increasingly, many of the social sciences. Here in Exeter we aim to provide you the best education you can possibly get in both mathematics and the applications of mathematics, all on a lovely campus in beautiful Devon. We hope you find new friends, have a great time and also work hard to achieve your degree.
