B.Sc. in Mathematics (3yrs)

Mathematics is the science of number, form, and logic. Some people describe mathematics as the realm of numerical problem solving. Others see it as the study of functions. Still others view mathematics as the study of structures such as geometric shapes and computer networks. At its most fundamental level, mathematics is a way of thinking. Mathematicians are in the business of logical reasoning. A typical course in modern mathematics begins with nothing more than a few definitions and a modest set of assumptions. From such a meagre starting point, a mathematician is trained to build a system of truths, a set of tools, via the rigours of logic. Some areas of mathematics can be quite abstract, such as Real Analysis, or can be motivated by practical applications, such as Differential Equations. At UWinnipeg, you have flexibility in designing your course of study. There are core courses that all mathematics majors must take, but you will also choose from a diverse group of additional courses, in areas such as topology, combinatorics and graph theory. This program leads to a Bachelor of Science (3-year, 4-year, or Honours) or a Bachelor of Arts (3- year or 4-year) with a Major in Mathematics. If you are interested in becoming a teacher, mathematics can be used as a teachable major or a teachable minor in the Education program. Students taking a degree in another major may choose to add a Minor in mathematics as a secondary area of interest.
