Did you know that mathematical modelling enables scientists to better understand infectious diseases?
Study applied mathematics and learn how advanced mathematical methods are used to develop practical solutions to a variety of real-world problems.
Develop your critical thinking skills and learn advanced mathematical techniques for approaching problems in a logical, analytical and creative manner.
Build your foundational knowledge in core topics such as applied mathematical analysis, mathematical modelling and numerical methods used in computer programming.
You'll then have the opportunity to apply your expertise in areas of interest such as natural resources and environmental modelling, or biological science.
You may also choose to combine your major with a minor in bioinformatics, computational science, computer science, physics or statistics.
This major will prepare you for a diverse range of career opportunities in sectors such as financial services, engineering, technology and sciences.
