BSc Computational Mathematics

Description:
This programme offers a thorough degree-level education in mathematics, with particular emphasis on its computational aspects. It also incorporates an introduction to the discipline of computer science. The aim is to produce mathematicians with experience of numerical techniques, an appreciation of wider computational issues and a range of subject-specific transferable skills. The split in content is approximately two thirds mathematics and one third computer science.
