PhD position in Mathematics (Computability and its applications to mathematics and physics), Swansea (Wales)

University of Wales Swansea
PhD Research Studentship in

Computability and its applications to mathematics and physics

There will be a 3 year EPSRC research studentship in Mathematics at
Swansea associated with the EPSRC grant EP/C525361: Foundations of
computing with continuous data: algorithms versus experiments with
physical systems. supervised by Prof. J.V.Tucker (Dept of Computer
Science) and Dr E.J.Beggs (Dept of Mathematics).

The project is concerned with the computability of mathematical structures
such as functional analysis and differential geometry, and their
applications to the computability of mathematical models of physical
systems (e.g.  Hamiltonian or Newtonian mechanics). Furthermore, the
project will investigate physical foundations for computability theories.

Any candidate should have a good understanding of analysis, functional
analysis and possibly differential geometry. They should have an interest
in learning and applying ideas on computability and logic to new areas.

We would like the studentship to start on or before July 2006. The funding
is at the standard EPSRC rate, with a little extra money for travel. The
grant will pay tuition fees for home (UK) and European Union students
only.

The student will join a research team at Swansea, including Prof. J.V.
Tucker, Dr. E.J.Beggs and Dr. J. Blanck and Prof. J I Zucker.

For further information, including details of the financial package,
please contact E.J.Beggs@swansea.ac.uk.
