The connection between philosophy and mathematics is reciprocal: mathematical principles have aided in structuring the analysis of logical reasoning that forms the foundation of sound philosophical inquiry. It's therefore unsurprising that renowned thinkers like Descartes, Leibniz, Frege, and Russell excelled in both fields.
This three-year program offers balanced study in Mathematics and Philosophy. The philosophy curriculum covers logic and formal reasoning, teaching you to evaluate arguments and build proofs. You'll develop skills for interpreting sophisticated texts and distinguishing strong from weak reasoning. In mathematics, first-year core modules establish key concepts, easing the transition from prior studies to university-level work. Later years typically involve four mathematics modules annually, with options to specialize or explore diverse subjects.
Upon completion, you'll be equipped to comprehend challenging texts, engage thoughtfully with ethical, metaphysical, and epistemological questions, and appreciate various philosophical perspectives' strengths and limitations. You'll also gain proficiency across multiple mathematical fields while enhancing your numerical, logical, and quantitative abilities.
