Maths Café

The Maths Cafe is a peer supported initiative that allows maths students to seek help, ask questions or just chat about maths with their peers. The sessions are coordinated by the Maths Gym and organised and guided by peer mentors who are year 3, 4 and 5 maths students. Participants gain invaluable skills in teaching and communicating mathematics. The Maths Café provides support in the following areas:

help with difficult tutorial questions and exam revision

advice on how to manage your workload and organise studies

forming study groups and chatting about maths in an informal atmosphere

Maxwell Institute for Mathematical Sciences

We are part of the Maxwell Institute for Mathematical Sciences, a joint research institute bringing together within a single body the research activities of:

•The Department of Mathematics at Heriot-Watt University

•The Department of Actuarial Mathematics and Statistics at Heriot-Watt University

•The School of Mathematics at the University of Edinburgh

The Maxwell Institute promotes the development of new mathematical theory and tools meaning that the mathematics that we teach is up-to-date and relevant for solving current real world problems.

International Centre for Mathematical Sciences (ICMS)

ICMS is jointly owned by Heriot-Watt University and the University of Edinburgh, with support from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council of the UK. Its aims are to advance the mathematical sciences and highlight the impact of mathematical innovation, promoting interactions with other disciplines, industry and commerce. ICMS organises international workshops and conferences in all areas of mathematics and these attract leading mathematical scientists from across the globe.
