Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics

The programs in mathematics provide students with knowledge of and experience in working with advanced mathematics.  They aim to develop an understanding of the nature of mathematics and introduce its many applications.

The programs will prepare graduates to:

Demonstrate mathematical literacy and proficiency.

  • Demonstrate knowledge of Mathematical Analysis: e.g.limits, continuity, differentiability, integrability.
  • Demonstrate knowledge of Linear Algebra: e.g., vector spaces, linear transformation, eigen vectors and eigen values.
  • Demonstrate knowledge of Abstract Algebra: e.g., groups, rings, fields.
  • Demonstrate knowledge of Geometry/ topology: e.g., metric and affine property, metric spaces, topological spaces.
  • Demonstrate knowledge of Complex Analysis: e.g., Cauchy’s Theorem and Integral Formulas, Residue Theory.

Demonstrate ability to think critically.

  • Read and write mathematics.
  • Communicate mathematical concepts both verbally and in writing, with understanding and clarity.
  • Develop the skill of constructing correct mathematical proofs, such as direct proofs, proof by contraposition or contradiction, proof by mathematical induction.
  • Demonstrate understanding of general mathematical theory and apply theory to solve problems of both a pure and applied nature.

Demonstrate ability to engage in lifelong learning.

  • Observe , understand and communicate ideas with clarity and precision.
  • Analyze and think critically about mathematics and demonstrate its application to other areas of interest outside the realm of mathematics.
