Overview

Mathematics is the science of human intellectual activity. Mathematics has been over the past hundred years the core and engine for many technological advances. Today, Mathematics continues to be the source of development in many scientific fields including: communication, imaging, micro-manufacturing, cryptography, pattern recognition, finance and meteorology.

 

In addition, recent advances in computation capabilities have revolutionized Applied Mathematics and Statistics and have increased the need for more mathematical algorithms and models to validate computational results with sound and rigorous mathematical infrastructure. Therefore, Mathematics is the key to all sciences and Mathematics is undoubtedly a living and growing scientific discipline.

It is also an undoubtful fact that university student well-educated in Mathematics have better chances for a career in academia or industry. Currently, most university programs like: Physics, Chemistry, Computer Science, Engineering, Economics and also social and biological sciences have among their course requirement good amount of mathematical and statistical training to ensure better career chances for their graduates.
