• Mathematics is the study of topics such as quantity (numbers), structure, space, and change.
  • Mathematics provides skills in independent thinking and problem solving, which are of use in many fields of employment and in Science, Engineering, and Commerce.
  • Mathematics graduates move into teaching and significant numbers are absorbed by computing, finance, commerce, insurance, and scientific establishments.

Mathematicians are at the forefront of breakthroughs in science, technology, and finance. Did you know:

  • Money is kept secure when using internet banking protocols based on mathematical cryptography and prime numbers.
  • Medical images such as MRI are reconstructed using mathematical tools that were first developed in the early 1800s.
  • The mathematics of wavelet transformations helps us to understand the seismic activity, which may one day assist us with the prediction of earthquakes.
  • Mathematicians can find solutions to equations that govern the universe to help us understand physical phenomena, without the need for expensive experiments.
  • Mathematical modeling.
