• 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.
