The Bachelor of Science (Mathematics) will give you the skills to solve problems in areas such as computer programming, climate modelling, and transportation.
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.
Massey’s strength in applied mathematics means you’ll get to combine your learning with other science disciplines to gain extensive experience in a range of applications.
You’ll use your knowledge to solve problems in the areas like computer programming, climate modelling and transportation.
Massey’s mathematics programme is taught by leading researchers and encompasses 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.
Some of the topics taught in mathematics courses include:
• differential equations • analysis • algebra
• combinatorics • mathematical modelling • discrete mathematics
Note: July start will take 3.5 years to complete.
