Mathematics with Mathematical Computation

Imperial College London

This course aims to present you with a wide range of mathematical ideas in a way that develops your critical and intellectual abilities. You'll develop a broad understanding of mathematical theory and application, with opportunities to deepen your knowledge in areas that appeal to you. You will engage with concepts that are both a direct continuation of those at A-level, and others that introduce you to new ways of thinking. Your studies will cover the key areas of mathematics such as algebra, analysis, probability and statistics. You'll also explore topics including the logical structure of arguments, the proper definition of mathematical objects, the design of sophisticated mathematical models, and the legitimacy of computations. As part of the Mathematical Computation specialisation, you will focus on topics such as high-performance computing and scientific computation. You will also have the opportunity to choose from a wide selection of optional modules – many of which are linked to our cutting-edge research and led by pre-eminent experts in their fields. As a graduate in mathematics, you'll possess a set of logical and analytical skills that employers highly value, enabling you to pursue opportunities across the commercial, government and education sectors.
