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

2004年的《国际数学评论》（International Review of Mathematics）指出，来自英国的新博士通常比来自其他国家的同行在广度和经验上都要少。为了解决这个问题，我们的目的是提供广泛的高质量的培训，让刚开始的博士生接触到广泛的数学和统计学基础领域。这将使他们获得比迄今为止传统的英国博士培训所提供的更广泛的经验。课程将提供八个流（代数，几何和拓扑，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）。这些课程将使开始博士生有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.
