Mathematics encompasses the study of patterns in numbers and shapes, change, logic, computation, and many abstract topics. The tools and methods developed by mathematicians are used in many disciplines including all sciences, engineering, IT, finance, as well as almost all industries.
In this major, not only will you develop a foundation in "real world" areas of mathematics such as calculus, discrete mathematics, numerical analysis, linear algebra and modelling, you will also develop skills in critical thinking, reasoning, and creative problem-solving.
This foundation has potential to lead to rewarding careers in public and private industry, education, defence, and even research in a wide range of areas, from pure mathematics to vaccine development to Climate Change.
