Mathematics, which originated from arithmetic and geometry, is based on patterns and structures and is the fundamental language of science and technology. Applied mathematics is concerned with the modelling and treatment of real-life problems in a variety of fields, such as engineering, finance, statistics, physics and biology. The power of mathematics and applied mathematics lies in their abstract, analytical and computational nature. Nowadays, mathematics is essential for all technological, financial and managerial industries, which form the backbone of the South African economy.

Why do some cars or airplanes experience more drag than others? How do we calculate the orbit of a satellite? How are partially autonomous vehicles controlled? How fast does blood flow through our veins? While the degree program in Mathematics is concerned with abstract matters, the emphasis of the Applied Mathematics program is on constructing mathematical models to solve problems, simulate practical situations, and analyze the results. For example, you may make a model to compute the flow of water or blood or the flow fields around the wing of an airplane. Or, you may work on operating systems for robots, airplanes, or satellites. While the ability to think abstractly is just as important as it is for Mathematics, in Applied Mathematics you also learn to structure your reasoning and draw conclusions. The University of Groningen offers degree programs in both Mathematics and Applied Mathematics. The first year is largely the same for both Bachelor’s programs, during which you explore the programs and gradually work towards your specialization. It is possible to switch programs at the end of the first year. Applied Mathematics is an international Bachelor’s degree program. All of the course units are taught in English, which gives Applied Mathematics an extra dimension as many of your fellow students and lecturers will come from abroad.

Gain extensive knowledge of probability and statistics. Combine this with pure mathematics or applied mathematics. This BSc (Honours) in Mathematics and Statistics degree will equip you with problem-solving and decision-making tools. You’ll experience using statistical software and practise conducting and communicating statistical investigations.

Our Applied Mathematics degree will give you the skills, experience and expertise valued by a wide range of careers and businesses.

The Bachelor’s Degree in Applied Mathematics and Computing seeks to train professionals who are capable of applying mathematics in those areas of science, engineering, economics, and other social sciences where computation plays a key role. Students will be prepared for the design and use of algorithms and numerical modeling methods and for solving real problems. 

Applied mathematics is an interdisciplinary program focusing on solving concrete problems by means of advanced mathematical tools.

This course offers mathematical education with an emphasis on real-life applications. You will be introduced to mathematics as a critical tool in solving problems in natural sciences, engineering, and economy. You will also be introduced to the understanding that abstract mathematical ideas are an essential source of innovation in many applications. The course provides a comprehensive spectrum of career paths in academia and industry to successful graduates.

Given its black-and-white, highly objective nature, Mathematics can seem like a relatively impersonal academic discipline. At Lakeland, however, you will discover that Mathematics, like any other subject, is taught here with a personal touch! From pre-calculus to differential equations, and linear algebra to topology and complex variables, Lakeland offers a full range of Mathematics classes that will fit into the career path you choose.

Students in the applied mathematics major learn to solve problems from a variety of disciplines by developing mathematical models, applying computational algorithms, and analyzing results. The applied mathematics major allows students to choose either the standard track or one of three concentrations: Actuarial Science Concentration, Computer Science Concentration, Physics Concentration, or Statistics and Data Science Concentration.

This programme gives you a sound knowledge of mathematics and how to use mathematics as a tool in areas such as computer science, economy and engineering. With sound knowledge of mathematics and good practice in programming and in handling computer-aided mathematics tools, you are well-prepared for deeper studies in applied mathematics.

Our applied mathematics program offers an alternate track to standard engineering degrees and develops a stronger understanding of the underlying science and mathematics of engineering, as well as the application of scientific methods to engineering problems.

Mathematics is a language and methodology for classifying, studying, and predicting patterns: patterns of quantity, structure, change, of logic. Mathematics typically encompasses applied mathematics and computational mathematics. Above all else, a mathematician is a problem solver, and as a mathematics major at South Dakota Mines, you will learn to be just that.

Understanding and deciphering data is a critical skill in today's workforce. At Stevenson, our Bachelor of Science in Applied Mathematics program empowers you to think critically, solve complex issues, and use data to develop a deeper insight into problems in various fields such as business, architecture, the sciences, engineering, or information technology.
