Undergraduate Studies

Mathematics and statistics play a fundamental role in our modern world, providing us with the language and tools for analyzing and solving problems in a wide variety of fields. The list of human activities for which a solid foundation of university-level mathematics and statistics is essential is endless: computer science, environmental studies, robotics, engineering, medicine, genetics, DNA sequencing, image processing, cryptography and coding, astronomy, meteorology, oceanography, economics, and so on. Of course mathematics and statistics are fields that are worthy of study in their own right too.

Whether it is the application of mathematics and statistics to real-world problems or the intrinsic beauty of the ideas that attracts you, we can offer you courses and programs to challenge your imagination and increase your capacity for independent and creative thinking, and to prepare you for a large variety of rewarding careers in the modern world.
