Bachelor of Mathematics in Pure Mathematics (Joint Honours)

University of Waterloo

Study the power, elegance, how, and why of math. In this rigorous program, you'll cover the spectrum of mathematics from classical to modern including geometry, number theory, and logic. Because Pure Mathematics classes are among the smallest and most cohesive in the Faculty of Mathematics, you’ll get to know both your classmates and your profs. (Profs who are doing ground breaking research when they’re not in the classroom.) You'll also get the opportunity to get paid work experience through co op. Pure Mathematics will provide you with problem solving skills that can be applied in industry, business, government, or graduate school. Add research to your resume. Apply for an Undergraduate Student Research Award and you could spend four paid months working in pure mathematics with a professor. Have fun with other mathies. Join the club The Pure Math Club organizes academic and social events ranging from student/prof mixers and math contests to board game nights and potlucks. This is a traditional honours mathematics plan which provides an excellent foundation across a wide spectrum of mathematics with an emphasis on theory and abstraction.
