Mathematics and Statistics

Mathematics and Statistics are the central tools scientists use to solve problems. Questions in mathematics centre upon quantity, form, and structure, and use analytical methods to model events in the natural world. Statisticians specialize in the collection and interpretation of data. The universal nature of mathematical structures makes them necessary in understanding and creating applications to everyday issues. Graduating students receive support from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Council of Canada at a rate higher than the national average. The integration of technology and curriculum exposes students to computing languages and software, ensuring the attainment of skills required for employment or graduate studies. Graduates may pursue careers in accounting, insurance, education, biostatistics, medical research, cryptology, computing, banking and finance, or professional studies in health science, law, and engineering.Career ideas for students interested in studying Mathematics and Statistics include: software developer, statistician, teacher, network programmer, chartered accountant, compensation research analyst, data processing manager, risk analyst, rate analyst, financial auditor, software designer, consumer loan officer, and pension specialist.
