Bachelor of Science in Applied Mathematics
A student completing the Applied Mathematics programmes will have an understanding of mathematical, statistical, and operations research principles, and is equipped with the necessary skills, knowledge and scientific attitudes required for solving a wide variety of mathematical, statistical and operations research problems (including those in science, engineering, technology, finance and commerce) at various levels of complexity theoretically and practically using computing. The programme provides opportunities for students to develop and demonstrate knowledge and understanding, skills, qualities and other attributes: Student should know and be able to apply a selection of mathematical and computational tools required to solve and understand problems in quantitative science, identifying relevant principles and laws when dealing with such problems; plan, conduct and report (orally and in writing) on a programme of investigation; integrate and evaluate information from a variety of sources; develop skills in extracting relevant information from published sources, both printed and electronic, and the ability to reference work in an appropriate manner, is expected to have an ability to execute experiments in an experimental or computing laboratory with due safety precautions; have basic familiarity and competence in handling laboratory apparatus or computers; have competence in the use of mathematical methods and techniques in problem solving and modelling; use numerical and analytical techniques to solve problems
