BSc in Mathematics in Waltham United States | Brandeis University

The Mathematics Department provides three 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.

Through mathematics studies, you'll 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 majors gain excellent preparation for graduate studies or careers in scientific research, finance, and actuarial science. Regardless of your direction, we hope you'll develop an appreciation for mathematics' intrinsic beauty. As Albert Einstein observed, "Pure mathematics is, in its way, the poetry of logical ideas."
