| Description: | Mathematics teaches one to think analytically and creatively. It is a foundation for advanced careers in a knowledge-based economy. The past century has been a remarkable one for discovery in mathematics. Problems in computer science, physics, biology, and economics have opened new fields of mathematical inquiry, and discoveries at the most abstract level, for example in number theory, have led to breakthroughs in applied areas. The Mathematical Sciences Specialist Program at U of T Mississauga provides students with a solid foundation in the fundamental theoretical aspects of the mathematical sciences along with a broad range of techniques for applying this theory. The Major and Minor Programs in Mathematical Sciences consist largely of MAT courses, and may be combined with programs in other subjects. |
