Such a shame, my son wants to do a maths degree and focus on the pure aspects….this does not fill me with enthusiasm for the course there

It is worth ensuring that such websites have more and more content. Keep it up!

This short-sighted abolition of mathematics is deplorable. The University of Leicester will suffer for it, as will its future students and Mathematics in the U.K.

Management's plan is penny-wise and pound-foolish. Pure mathematics research is necessary for the advancement of all knowledge.

Please keep pure mathematics going at University of Leicester and all other university. Maths is interesting for its own sake.

AI and CS come forth from pure maths and logic. To cut away those roots will wither the remaining research.

Without Riemann studies in differential manifolds ( pure mathematics at time ) probably Einstein could'n create Relative theory.
Without Gödel studies about logic ( pure mathematics ) Turing may not had write about Turing Machines and may not had created computer science.
Without many researches about Number Theory (Pure mathematics again) cryptography could'n be developed.
So pure mathematics could'n seen important now, but may be essential in future.

If not reversed, this decision will have a huge negative effect on the image of the University.

Inspirational pure maths teaching will still be providing the best grounding imaginable for tech careers when data science et al. are viewed as outdated buzzwords. Such teaching is also remarkably cheap: but it can only be provided by research-focussed mathematicians.

Its sad that we have such an immediacy issue that we forget where knowledge comes from. Without maths there is no Science or engineering
