UCC School of Mathematical Sciences Open Afternoon 2024

Please register your interest to attend the Mathematical Sciences Open Day 2024 on Wednesday 4th of December 2024 at 3pm.  Register here.

The School of Mathematical Sciences welcome delighted to welcome President Guo of BTBU and his delegation to Cork to visit UCC on Monday the 9th of September. The delegation were visiting to strengthen the already strong bonds between UCC and BTBU and to promote further co-operation going forward.

During the month of August 2024, the School of Mathematical Sciences at UCC is hosting two Maths Olympiad Camps for secondary school students. 

These camps welcome students from across the country who are interested in a deeper understanding of Mathematics, with a view to future participations in events like the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) in Australia during July 2025, and the European Girls Mathematical Olympiad which will take place in Kosovo in April 2025.  

The first camp took place on 16-17 August 2024 in Western Gateway Building, UCC. It was attended by 25 students, and featured invited guests – former IMO medallists –  Aleksei Ganyukov and Oleg Koshik (Estonia), Rugilė Dzindzalietaitė and Tomas Babelis  (Lithuania) as well as lecturers from Ireland: Steve Buckley (Maynooth University), Emily Wolfe (UCC student), Fionn Kimber O'Shea (UCC Maths Enrichment graduate), Anca Mustata (UCC). The camp was co-organised by Fionn Kimber O'Shea and Anca Mustata. 

Dynamical systems theory is an active field of mathematics with a multitude of exciting applications that brings together a diverse community of researchers from biology, chemistry, physics, engineering, climate science, social science, industrial mathematics, data science, and more. This workshop was organised by Prof. Sebastian Wieczorek and Dr. Andrew Keane from the School of Mathematical Sciences. It aimed to support the collaborative and multidisciplinary nature of research into applied dynamical systems by providing a stage for enhanced communication of the latest developments in the field, as well as a space for in-depth scientific discussions and cross-fertilisation of theory, techniques and ideas between mathematicians, scientists and engineers.

The special occasion for this meeting was to celebrate the 60th birthday of Prof. Bernd Krauskopf (University of Auckland, New Zealand) whose contributions to the field of dynamical systems, with applications stretching across many fields of science and engineering, have had significant impact worldwide.

Guests travelled from all across the globe to attend this conference that was hosted in the Aula Maxima.

The School of Mathematical Sciences were delighted to welcome the visiting delegation from the Shanghai Municipal Statistics Bureau.

Congratulations to SOMS PG Student Autumn O'Donnell on coming fourth in the world surf kayaking championships. What an amazing achievement!

The UCC School of Mathematical Sciences Open Afternoon took place on Wednesday 6th December 2023..

This event was open to all TY/5th/6th Year students as well as parents, teachers and Guidance Counsellors who discovered more about the programmes by the School of Mathematical Sciences.

The School of Mathematical Sciences in UCC organised a seminar as part of its activities to celebrate the International Day of Women in Statistics and Data Science 2023. Invited guest speaker, Dr Maria Sudell presented Joint Modelling of Longitudinal and Time-To-Event Data. Dr Sudell is from the Department of Health Data Science, Institute of Population Health, Faculty of Health and Life Sciences, University of Liverpool.

A workshop featuring 12 leading international researchers (from 7 different countries) as invited speakers has taken place at the School of Mathematical Sciences. This event presented a number of exciting recent developments in the broad field of nonlinear dispersive waves, with a particular emphasis on waves arising in the ocean and atmosphere. The workshop, organised by Dr. David Henry, was run on a hybrid-basis and achieved a global reach of over 60 participants from 17 countries (and 6 continents)—confirming the adage that mathematics is the universal language of science.
