Application question - Cambridge maths

Hello, I am hoping to apply to Cambridge for maths (Trinity Hall currently), and I am in the process of developing my personal statement. I wanted to ask, however, if there are any fields of math that Cambridge especially likes/is proficient in (Of course it is Cambridge, but more so what most people specialise in), as I have done a good amount of number theory and complex analysis, and a little bit on the side for vector analysis that is above A level and more year 1 and 2 stuff of a uni course. Hence, I was wondering if the specific subject mattered at all, or if they just care that you have done something maths related?

Hi there! When reading your personal statement our Admissions Tutors are interested in finding out what you are interested in, not what you think the University is interested in. Therefore, if there's something specific in the field of Mathematics that you're really interested in and have been exploring outside of your school work then you should let us know! Personal statements should be exactly what the title says: personal.

When you complete your My Cambridge Application you will have an opportunity to explain why the Cambridge course specifically interests you. This is optional so you only need to fill it out if you want to.
