Mathematics

• Applied Mathematics and Pure Mathematics
  Original Research are carried out in various areas of Pure and Applied Mathematics.  We are particularly strong in Algebra, Combinatorics and Mathematical Modelling. 

Statistics and Biometry

• Statistics
  Statistics is concerned with the collection, analysis and interpretation of data. Research into the discipline is driven by problems that arise in the real world in areas such as Medicine, Industry and Finance. Thus, for example, statisticians are developing and refining models for image processing, for modelling the HIV/AIDS pandemic and for forecasting share prices.
  
• Biometry
  Biometry is that sub-branch of Statistics which is concerned with the handling and interpretation of data from agriculture. Research in Biometry addresses issues in, for example, optimizing plant variety trials, modelling animal growth, and interpreting genetic information.

Information Systems

• Research in this dynamic field is problem-centred and typically involves careful analysis of existing information systems and/or practices in commerce and industry. Traditional quantitative techniques are often complemented by qualitative analysis.
