You might not (and probably don't) understand it, but pure maths is simply the most important scientific field. It's as simple as that.

Separating pure mathematics from applied mathematics is very similar to dividing by zero: meaningless, futile, counterproductive.

Absolutely ridiculous to cut pure mathematics research when that very research has on countless occasions led to innovation. Not only does this harm the students, but the entire subject as a whole

The fundamentals of many scientific fields, including AI and Data Science, are inseparable from pure mathematics.

Pure maths are important. Gutting the department is not the solution. Please consider an alternative to dismantling an essential department.

It sounds very counter produtive. How can they believe anyone who does excellent research in AI, computational modelling or data science would like to work in a place with no pure mathematics?

The absurd decision to attack pure mathematics at Leicester yet again is the second major leadership catastrophe at the University of Leicester in five years.
