What is Mathematics and Mathematical Science?

Mathematics is, quite simply, the study of relationships between objects and the theories that seek to explain phenomena using numerical equations and expressions. However, there is nothing simple about the vast range of topics and careers to which mathematics can be applied.

What do Mathematics and Mathematical Science students learn?

Most mathematics students today choose to study a mix of pure and applied mathematics. Beyond topics such as calculus, algebra, probability, risk theory, fractals and number theory, they learn how mathematics can be used in real-world situations. They seek to find new structures, develop logical patterns and create models to explain these structures and predict their behaviour, often with the aid of computers. Many students today choose to combine their mathematics major with another major in fields such as computer science, physics, or engineering. Prospective students should look closely at the different program options offered by various universities. Some institutions also offer a cooperative education option, which provides future mathematicians with work experience in industry or government.
