Mathematical Sciences

About this course

Mathematical sciences encompasses the broad terrain of mathematics in its pure, applied, and statistical forms, from abstract algebra and analysis through to differential equations, probability theory, and numerical computation. Mathematics is the language in which scientific laws are expressed, the engine behind modern computing and data analysis, and a discipline that rewards deep thinking and careful reasoning for its own sake. Whether you are drawn to the formal beauty of pure mathematics or the power of applied and statistical methods to illuminate the real world, a degree in mathematical sciences develops one of the most transferable and highly valued intellectual skill sets available. The Open University offers this programme through distance learning, delivered entirely online and part-time, making it accessible to students who cannot commit to full-time campus-based study. The
