Pure Mathematics Research The Pure Mathematics division is active in research and has a lively postgraduate community. In the 2001 Research Assessment Exercise the Pure Division received a grade of 5, emphasising the international importance of the research undertaken at St. Andrews. Main areas of research activity are: Algebra Group theory, semigroup theory, lattice theory, computational group theory, computational semigroup theory and ordered algebraic structures. Analysis Fractal geometry, multifractal analysis, complex dynamical systems, Kleinian groups, diophantine approximations, approximation theory and non-linear diffusion equations.
