Sommaire

The Mathematics program allows students to acquire a basic math background and to develop their analytical skills by exploring various branches of mathematics and computer science. Students can adapt the program to their particular aptitudes and career goals, studying one or more branches of the discipline.

• Three-year program leads to a Bachelor of Science or Arts in Mathematics, with concentration in Mathematics alone or in combination with Computer Science or another subject

• Four-year program lead to an Honours Bachelor of Arts or Science in Mathematics

• Computer science component is a valuable addition to the study of mathematics at Laurentian

• Programs develop rigour and the ability to apply analytical reasoning to real-life problems

• Also available: Certificate in Computing
