Mathematical physics, or theoretical physics, is one of the most exciting and dynamic areas of study.  Theoretical physicists study the entire physical world from the microscopic astrophysical world.  The scope of its subject area ranges over such topics as, semiconductors, lasers, fractals, chaos, black holes, the Big Bang, the fundamental forces of nature, neural networks and the simulation of physical and biological systems.  

Mathematics is one of the purest forms of thought, but its relevance to our everyday lives is fundamental.  While its origins date back to ancient Greece, mathematics continues to underpin key areas of human endeavour and industry, from engineering to construction to economics to software development to space travel.

As a student of Theoretical Physics and Mathematics at Maynooth, you will learn how to analyse and explain complex issues, to identify problems and work out solutions, and to enter into the unknown with an open mind.  Theoretical Physics and Mathematics are fundamental to all the other science subjects and to engineering.
