The last century of research has led the Department of Mathematics at
Stockholm University to acquire a prominent place in Scandinavian
mathematics. The department consists of two divisions: mathematics and
mathematical statistics. The research thrusts in the division of
mathematics include algebra, geometry and combinatorics, analysis and
logic. During the last decade the division has almost doubled the number of
students. The research thrusts in mathematical statistics include
probability theory and statistical inference theory, with applications in
biostatistics, climatology, econometrics, finance and insurance. A newly
formed and growing direction of research and education in the department is
Computer Science and Scientific Computing focuses on computational biology,
bioinformatics, stochastic modelling and scientific computing for
climatology, and logic of programs. As of 2018 the department is
responsible for the BSc Programme in Computer Science.

We implement an active policy to develop and modernize the educational
process. Both our Bachelors and Masters programs in mathematics received
the highest ranking in the latest university evaluation.
