Science (Pure Mathematics), Bachelor

This degree aims to provide students with an experience in independent analysis and research in their chosen field of expertise. Discover why.

Pure mathematics deals with the abstract, the rigour and the beauty of perfection. Although the discipline is motivated by reasons other than applications, it often becomes the basis for applied mathematics to solve the most profound and concrete problems.The theory of prime numbers, for example, has its origins in pure mathematics, studied through curiosity well before the mathematicians who found it fascinating had any idea of potential applications. Today, it is fundamental to the security systems in electronic banking. In a similar way, notions of the curvature of space and time are applied in designing global positioning systems, and imaginary numbers are now used in everything from signal processing to the analysis of fluid flow.
