About the course

Mathematics is the study of universal patterns and structures, it is the quantitative language of the world, it underpins information technology, computer science, engineering, and the physical sciences, and it plays an increasingly important role in the biological and medical sciences, economics, finance, environmental science, sociology and psychology.

　　The Mathematics major is designed to provide a foundation in Calculus, Linear Algebra and basic modelling techniques using differential equations. In parallel, critical thinking will be developed through the analysis of quantitative problems. With this background students will be ready to pursue their interests in a broad range of mathematical areas, by choosing appropriate later year courses in pure or applied mathematics areas, or a combination of these. These later year courses reinforce and extend the students' quantitative skills as well as providing a greater awareness of the many branches of mathematics and of the interconnections among them.

　　Learning Outcomes
