Program Details
Students in the Bachelor of Mathematics (BMath) in Computational and Applied Mathematics and Statistics program will acquire the knowledge and skills needed to pursue careers involving the design of computers and computer networks, as well as the application of computers in solving critical problems in business, government and science. For example, you might find yourself developing new ways to protect information from both improper access and corruption during transmission, helping managers in business and government to allocate resources optimally, or using computer networks to study traffic flow and optimal routing.
Concentrations
Offered as an Honours program, students have the choice of three concentrations:
- Applied Analysis
- Applied Statistics and Probability
- Discrete Mathematics
Work Experience
