Bachelor of Science (B. Sc) in Mathematics
Mathematics, as a study of patterns, both practical and abstract, involves analytical thought, logical reasoning, problem solving skills, and precise communication. Because of its power and versatility, mathematics has often been called the “Queen of the Sciences.” There is no field of scientific inquiry that does not express itself through the language of mathematics.
Mathematics has its place in many industries and subjects. It impacts real world problems – as well as the solutions to those problems. From everyday tasks such as counting and shopping, to more detailed mathematical problems such as interpreting data, maths is applied everywhere.
Maths is all about problem solving. Not only will learn how to solve complex mathematical equations, but the skills one develops whilst working on mathematical functions will develop their problem-solving abilities in other ways, including:
- Pattern spotting
- Working backwards
- Visualizing
- Working systematically
- Using logical reasoning
Mathematics teaches skills that can be used or applied in many different work and personal situations. In this way, the skills one learns on a maths degree are skills that will be used throughout one’s life. Just some of the transferable skills that a maths degree can give includes:
- Data analysis
- Organisation
- Critical thinking
- Time management
- Communication
- Decision making
The kinds of analytical and logical thinking skills that one develops while studying mathematics are precisely the skills that recruiters look for in potential employees. An undergraduate degree in mathematics provides an excellent foundation for students who are interested in pursuing an advanced degree in mathematics or in a related specialized profession. Mathematics can also provide an excellent foundation for students considering professional degrees in such allied fields such as IT, Software, Accounting, Law, Business Administration, Medicine, Business Analytics, Finance, Public Service, etc.
