Due to timetable restrictions, students may not combine Mathematics with Celtic Civilisation and Spanish, in First Arts.
Why Study Mathematics?
Mathematics is a powerful and versatile tool for solving practical problems and a highly creative field of study, combining logic and precision with intuition and imagination. Mathematicians seek to reveal and explain patterns and to analyse and measure growth and change. Mathematics, both as a language and a body of knowledge and technique, has long been recognised as providing the fundamental underpinning of Science and Technology. Today the influence and applicability of Mathematics includes the Physical Sciences and Engineering, Medicine, Business and Finance, the Life Sciences and the Social Sciences.
Overview
Mathematics is a concentrated mathematics course involving a deeper study of the concepts and techniques of Modern and Classical Mathematics.
