International Direct - Bachelor of Science - Mathematics

Program Description

International Direct is designed for international students with advanced English-language skills. The focus is on academic, cultural and professional growth so students can excel in school and prepare for a successful future.

Mathematicians use theory, computational techniques, algorithms and computer technology to solve problems in various fields, including basic sciences, engineering, computer science, economics, business, finance, and social sciences. The study of mathematics is traditionally divided into pure (theoretical) mathematics, which involves discovering new mathematical principles and relationships, and applied mathematics, which develops mathematical techniques for solving practical problems. Statistics is a sub-field of applied mathematics that focuses on data analysis.

Skills developed in this major include: analytical skills, ability to construct logical arguments, ability to perform computer-aided computations, ability to think outside the box, communication skills, problem solving skills, quantitative reasoning, writing skills.
