This major aims to produce graduates in computing mathematics with a strong background of knowledge, skills and tools for mathematical modelling, scientific computation and technical computer software. The major provides students training in the ability to think quantitatively and analyse problems critically. The GREAT stream is designed for students who have a good and solid foundation in Mathematics. It aims to produce graduates interested in pursing a career in scientific research or starting business ventures that involve the use of new scientific discoveries and innovative technologies. |
Upon successful completion of this Major, students should be able to: Integrate into a structure the theory and principles underlying basic applied mathematics, scientific computation and computing software, and recognize the connections among the theory and principles. Apply mathematical and computing methods to a range of problems in scientific, engineering, commercial and other practical applications. Create and formulate mathematical models, evaluate quantitatively alternative approaches and improve the performance and reliability of such models. Use associated computing software and test then in a laboratory setting to construct models and solve resulting mathematical problems. Acquire work related experience and effective communication skills necessary to work within a team in an international and culturally diverse workplace. Recognize the need for, and engage in life-long learning.
