Are you passionate about problem-solving and fascinated by the hidden patterns that govern the universe? Then a degree in mathematics or applied mathematics could be the perfect fit for you!
Mathematics: The Language of Science
Mathematics is the foundation of many scientific disciplines. It equips you with the tools to analyze, model, and understand the world around you. Here at Nelson Mandela University, we offer two distinct tracks to delve into the fascinating world of mathematics:
Pure Mathematics: Often referred to as "mathematics for its own sake," this branch focuses on the beauty and elegance of abstract concepts. You'll explore topics like algebra, calculus, and analysis, developing strong reasoning and problem-solving skills.
Applied Mathematics: This branch bridges the gap between pure mathematics and real-world applications. You'll learn how to translate problems from diverse fields like engineering, finance, biology, or physics into mathematical models, using powerful computational techniques to solve them.
