Program Overview

This course in the theory and practice of mathematics is specially designed for students in the CACSSS who want to further develop their interest in mathematics. It can also provide a route into teaching mathematics at second-level.

The BA in Mathematical Studies is an option in the BA Arts (Honours) degree and complements other numerically based options in the BA Arts degree, for example Economics or Geography.

You will develop the theoretical underpinning of the mathematics you studied at school, while also developing applications of Mathematics to problems in the wider world. Throughout the degree you will learn written and oral presentation skills, for example, how to present a logic argument, perhaps backed up by numerical data.

Course Content
Year 1 modules:

All modules 5 credits unless otherwise stated.

Three modules will consolidate what you will have learnt in school and provide the building blocks for the rest of the degree:
- MS1002 Calculus
- MS1003 Linear Algebra
- MS1004 Introduction to Statistics
Year 2 modules

You will build on this foundation, with modules chosen from the following:
- discrete mathematics
- dynamical systems
- further calculus
- applications of abstract algebra
- geometry
- data analytics and other applications of statistics
- mechanics.
Year 3 modules

You will develop these topics further, again with a mixture of theory and applications. Modules include:
- differential equations and mathematical modelling
- further statistics
- transformation geometry
- number theory and further abstract algebra
- financial mathematics
- analysis.
