The Mount Allison mathematics program aims to provide an appreciation of the historical, theoretical, and applied nature of mathematics, as well as a full understanding of the beauty of the subject. 

 

Introductory courses may introduce students to the applications to which calculus may be applied or the practical uses of statistics. Upper-year courses deal with topics ranging from geometry to game theory.

Students will be introduced to mathematical concepts such as:

• the practical uses of statistical tools
  
• theoretical studies of abstract relationships
• the applications of calculus
• the use of number theory in modern cryptography

All courses in the curriculum offer a blend of theory and practical applications. The program includes lectures supplemented by weekly labs where you can gain hands-on experience.

Many of the courses offered include a substantial computational component and students are encouraged to use the mathematical software tools available.
