Mathematics is the art of analysis,
abstraction and application. It plays a pivotal role
in the progress of society and its continued growth relies on the exchange and development
of research ideas. Mathematics is an indispensable tool in many areas of
study. This includes traditional areas of application such as economics,
engineering and physics, but also emerging areas such as biostatistics and
robotics. The new program on Mathematics and its applications offers students
an enhanced portfolio of subjects in their degree programs, and enable them to
work successfully in different aspects of science, technology and commerce.
