Globally renowned expertise
Massey’s mathematics lecturers have an extensive range of experience and expertise across the field of mathematics. Our groups have a particular strength in the theory and application of differential equations. Many staff at both the Auckland and Manawat? campuses are working in the areas of dynamical systems, numerical solution of ordinary and partial differential equations, and modelling of physical systems. Our mathematical modellers are actively contributing to the study of:

• epidemiology
• celestial mechanics
• hydrothermal eruptions
• biological and industrial processes. 

Other areas of strength include modern analysis, geometry and number theory at Auckland, and topology and combinatorics at Manawat?.
