Key Summary
Introduction
BSc (Applied Mathematics)
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.
