What is Mathematics?
What if you could master the language of patterns and proof and turn messy real‑world problems into exact solutions?
Mathematics studies patterns, structure, quantity, space, and change while training you to think precisely and prove claims; in a mathematics degree you learn core theory (calculus, linear algebra, real and complex analysis, abstract algebra, topology), applied areas (differential equations, probability and statistics, numerical methods, optimization, mathematical modelling), and methods (rigorous proof, formal reasoning, abstraction, problem solving), plus computational skills (algorithmic thinking, symbolic manipulation, basic programming for computation and simulation), typical experiences like problem sets, proofs, modelling projects, and research seminars, and preparation for careers in research, data science, finance, engineering, software, education, and graduate stud
