Mathematics is one of the oldest sciences. Although there are many applications of mathematics, the subject seeks to resolve questions whose answers will deepen our understanding of, and reveal new insights into, mathematics itself. The inherent structure and elegance of mathematics are features of the subject that are difficult to surpass in other sciences.

Mathematics also differs from other disciplines in that its advances come through the application of pure reason (by way of the human mind) rather than through observation (by way of scientific instrumentation). Consequently, mathematics builds upon its past achievements and develops independently of technological advancements.

Bachelor of Science in Mathematics

In this program, you will learn to be proficient in the uses of mathematics, especially calculus, matrix algebra, and differential equations. You will also be exposed to statistics, computer science, and higher-level mathematical reasoning in the form of mathematical proof. Courses in number theory, abstract algebra, and optimization can be taken as part of this program.

Mathematics

Mathematics is the science that deals with the logic of shape, quantity and arrangement. It is the building block for nearly everything in our daily lives, including smartphones, computers, software, architecture (ancient and modern), art, money, engineering, travel, and sports.

The main branches of pure mathematics are:

Algebra (the study of arithmetical systems of various types)

Analysis (the study of the continuum and the mathematics of change)

Combinatorics (the mathematics of counting)

Probability (the mathematics of random phenomena)

Topology (the study of geometrical objects and their deformations)
