Mathematics

Course summary

Mathematics deserves to be studied for its own sake. There is no denying its use and application but its intrinsic value should not be underestimated. Many students find the rigour, the challenge and the abstract nature of mathematics most rewarding. Mathematics at its best is honest, linguistically elegant and concise. Mathematics provides the students with the opportunity to engage in risk taking within the structure of problem solving: "I like the logic of it and the satisfaction of getting a right answer".
