313942 v.1 Applied Mathematics Double Degree Major (S&E)

Introduction

This Applied Mathematics double Degree major provides a solid foundation in mathematical concepts. Through abstraction and logical reasoning, mathematics evolved from counting, calculation, measurement, and the systematic study of the shapes and motions of physical objects. Today, mathematics is used in most fields. Students with a mathematics degree are highly sought after by industry due to their highly developed analytical skills.
