Bachelor of Arts/MA in Mathematics in Waltham United States | Brandeis University

The Mathematics Department provides three undergraduate degree options: a Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics, a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics, and a Bachelor of Science in Applied Mathematics. This reflects mathematics' dual nature as both a profoundly beautiful discipline with ancient roots and a practical framework for interpreting our universe.

Mathematics students explore core areas—algebra, real and complex analysis, geometry, and topology—while learning to implement mathematical concepts in practical scenarios. Our program features coursework in calculus, linear algebra, abstract algebra, real and complex analysis, topology, differential geometry, differential equations, number theory, combinatorics, statistics and probability, dynamical systems, numerical methods, modeling, and optimization. Mathematics graduates gain excellent preparation for advanced academic pursuits or careers in scientific research, finance, and actuarial fields. Regardless of professional direction, we encourage students to appreciate mathematics intrinsically. As Albert Einstein observed, "Pure mathematics is, in its way, the poetry of logical ideas."
