The Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics (DAMTP) was founded in 1959 and rapidly became established as one of the world's leading centres for research in the mathematical sciences - with the emphasis primarily on the science rather than the mathematics. The most famous current member of the Department is undoubtedly Stephen Hawking, and among his predecessors in the Lucasian Chair of Mathematics are James Lighthill, Paul Dirac (Nobel Prize winner), George Gabriel Stokes and Isaac Newton.

One measure of the Department's success is the fact that 13 of our academic staff are Fellows of the Royal Society; another is that it is a popular choice for young researchers awarded Research Council or Royal Society Advanced/Post-doctoral Fellowships.
