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 application of computers in solving critical problems in business, government and science. For example, you might find yourself developing new ways to protect digital information from both improper access and corruption during transmission, helping managers in business and government to allocate resources optimally, developing mathematical models to make predictions in public health or environmental science, or using algorithms to analyze networks.
Concentrations
Offered as an Honours program, students have the choice of three concentrations:
- Applied Analysis
- Applied Statistics and Probability
- Discrete Mathematics
Work Experience
A Co-op option is available. Co-op is the opportunity to get a head start on a career. Co-op work terms allow for the development of key employability skills, exploration of career options and graduation with tangible, workplace experience.
