Bachelor of Science - Mathematics

Program Description The Mount Allison mathematics program aims to provide an appreciation of the historical, theoretical, and applied nature of mathematics, as well as a full understanding of the beauty of the subject. Introductory courses may introduce students to the applications to which calculus may be applied or the practical uses of statistics. Upper-year courses deal with topics ranging from geometry to game theory. Students will be introduced to mathematical concepts such as: • the practical uses of statistical tools • theoretical studies of abstract relationships • the applications of calculus • the use of number theory in modern cryptography

All courses in the curriculum offer a blend of theory and practical applications. The program includes lectures supplemented by weekly labs where students can gain hands-on experience. Many of the courses offered include a substantial computational component and students are encouraged to use the mathematical software tools available.
