Mathematical Institute

The Mathematical Institute is based in the Andrew Wiles Building on Woodstock Road. The department has one of the more modern buildings at the university and was designed in consideration of the Mathematical mind, including the Penrose Paving outside the building. The mezzanine level of the building contains six lecture theatres (L1–L6), which vary in size to cater for the department’s various needs, six spacious classrooms (C1–C6) and the Mathematical Institute’s café. Please note that access to the Andrew Wiles Building for OMMS and Part C students is restricted to the public areas of the building from 8am to 6pm on weekdays only.

The mezzanine space is also home to the Undergraduate and OMMS Study Room. The room contains a number of computers and desks to facilitate quiet study within the Mathematical Institute. It also has a number of power sockets for students wishing to use their own laptops and there is wi-fi throughout the building.

The department’s café is usually open during weekdays. Café Pi serves a range of food and beverages from 08:30 to 16:00 on Monday to Friday and contains seating for 100.
