Scottish Mathematical Training Centre - A taught course centre for UK PhD students

2004年的《国际数学评论》强调了这样一个事实，即来自英国的新博士通常比来自其他国家的同龄人缺乏广度和经验。为了解决这一问题，我们的目的是提供高质量的广泛性质的培训，使初学博士的学生接触到广泛的数学和统计基础领域。这将使他们获得比英国传统博士培训所提供的更广泛的经验。课程将分八类(代数、几何和拓扑学、纯分析、应用分析和偏微分方程、应用数学方法、数学建模、概率和统计学)。这些课程将为初学博士的学生提供机会，提高他们的数学经验的广度。

The 2004 International Review of Mathematics highlighted the fact that new PhDs from the UK usually have less breadth and experience than their peers from other countries. To address this problem, our intention is to provide high-quality training of a broad nature to expose beginning PhD students to a wide range of fundamental areas of mathematics and statistics. This will give them a broader experience than has hitherto been provided by the traditional UK doctoral training. Courses will be offered in eight streams (algebra, geometry and topology, pure analysis, applied analysis and pdes, applied mathematical methods, mathematical modelling, probability and statistics). These courses will give beginning doctoral students the opportunity to enhance the breadth of their mathematical experience.
