The Bachelor of Science (BSc) majoring in Mathematics at the University of Auckland

The Mathematics major offers a solid grounding in both pure and applied mathematics. 

You’ll study a range of concepts and theories, as well as analytical, computational and modelling tools that you can apply to areas as diverse as the biological sciences, information and physical sciences, economics, engineering and finance.

As a Mathematics student you’ll take compulsory core courses that will prepare you for higher courses in both pure and applied mathematics, and which will expose you to critical thinking and meta-mathematical thinking while offering you an authentic mathematical experience.

As part of your major you’ll complete the Mathematics capstone course, MATHS 399, where you’ll work with other students to explore the role of mathematicians in society and culture. 

Your project will give you the chance to develop your skills in communication, critical thinking, teaching and creative problem-solving.
