Whether it is your cell phone, the security details for your bank card, the supply of products to shops, image processing in the medical field or a digital prototype for a car: none of these would exist without mathematics. You might not often even give it a thought, but mathematics is an essential part of our modern world.

That is why there is also a constant demand for versatile and widely deployable mathematicians, people who enjoy the challenge of solving problems and designing new products. Is being involved in creating the world of today and tomorrow something that appeals to you? Do you enjoy getting your teeth into a problem and do keep on searching for a solution until something has been solved? If so, our program in Applied Mathematics is the one for you.... [-]

In many fields - including but not limited to engineering, business, science, and architecture - mathematics provides both a powerful base for understanding as well as tools necessary for study, research and development. Mathematics is essential to understanding our rapidly changing technologically-based world.

Our graduates have learned to think critically and creatively - skills necessary in a world that demands new ideas and new approaches. Our graduates will fit quickly and easily into a wide range of established and start-up companies.

Upon graduation, our students are able to:

Mathematics is the foundation of our technological society and is a growing, changing discipline. It’s been a vital ingredient in physics and chemistry and the intellectual fabrics of a broad range of disciplines, increasing its impact on such diverse areas as space science, management and the social sciences. More recently, the fundamental role of mathematics has been recognized in biology and medicine.

For its practicality and interdisciplinary reach -- and for its development of problem-solving and analytical skills -- majoring in math prepares you for a variety of well-paying career paths, and it also appeals to graduate and professional schools.

A.C.U. offers a Bachelor of Arts and a Bachelor of Science in mathematics:... [-]

You like to decipher the world around you through numbers, geometry, and topology.

About Mathematics

If you’re a natural-born “mathlete,” a degree in mathematics can lead to a career in many exciting areas, including actuarial science, mathematics, statistics, and secondary education. You can also pursue a graduate degree or professional degree in fields such as law and business.

Mathematics and physics are complementary subjects and make a sensible combination to study at university. There are many examples of unexpected discoveries resulting from the interaction between the two disciplines. Ideas developed in particle physics have led to advances in topology - one of the purest branches of mathematics. Advances in the understanding of chaos provide another example. Ideas from the theory are being applied increasingly in the modeling of complex physical systems such as the atmosphere and lasers.

The Warwick joint courses (BSc and MMathPhys) are now among the best-established in the country with around 50 students starting each year. The courses include a significant proportion of modules from both contributing departments designed primarily for joint degree students. It is possible at the end of the First Year to transfer to either of the single subject degrees. Years one and two are common to the two courses.... [-]
