Bachelor of Science (Mathematics)

Massey University

From securing sensitive communications using cryptography to calculating the geostationary orbit of a satellite - mathematics is a product of human ingenuity that allows our modern world to exist. It is fundamental to our lives. Real-world skills Our strength in applied mathematics means youll get to combine your learning with other science disciplines to gain extensive experience in a range of applications. Youll use your knowledge to solve problems in the areas like computer programming, climate modelling and transportation. Learn from the leaders You will have access to some of the worlds top mathematical minds. You will graduate well-grounded in the basic mathematic principles, but youll also be stimulated by your exposure to the latest research and discoveries. Our mathematics qualification is taught by leading researchers encompassing the modelling of geothermal processes, cell growth, dynamical systems, scientific computing, combinatorics, topology, epidemiology, celestial mechanics, neuroscience, industrial mathematics, number theory, geometry and analysis. This versatility demonstrates the variety of job areas available to mathematically-skilled scientists. The skills youll need The task of the mathematician is to find ways to collect appropriate data for analysis and problem-solving. Mathematics draws much of its following and strength from its ability to solve problems in a wide variety of areas, such as the sciences, engineering, commerce and industry. These are all areas of expertise at Massey. As part of your study, you will learn the ability to communicate and explain concepts effectively with non-mathematical colleagues.
