Course summary

In today’s rapidly evolving digital world, Mathematics qualifications are highly regarded. Mathematics skills are not only good training for the mind, helping to develop analytical and logical thinking, but they are also used as a tool in many other fields of work, such as medicine, engineering, psychology, computing and natural sciences. Students with Mathematics qualifications not only appreciate the beauty of the subject but are also highly employable. Mathematical models are also used to help address ethical issues, such as should a developing country try to protect its domestic industries from foreign competition? Economists use statistical techniques to test how well models like these explain, and ultimately predict, what happens in an economy. Mathematics is an integral part of the world we live in.
