This program is aimed at applying the power of mathematics to solve practical problems. Behind every modern technology there is a history of conceptual mathematical developments, for example, the foundations of computer science, data compression and Google’s ranking system. The relevance of mathematical reasoning in modern life is invaluable. You will learn how to use mathematics to analyze and solve problems arising in other subject areas such as computer science, engineering, business, science and industry. In addition, you will develop and use mathematical models, which are widely used to help solve real world problems in areas such as population dynamics, biological modelling and financial mathematics. This degree program is flexible and offers you the opportunity to take courses in many different subject areas.
