Classes in Western's Department of Mathematics emphasize analytical thinking and problem-solving skills that will serve you well not just in mathematics, but in many other careers, including law, business, and a range of technical fields. Mathematics students benefit from small class sizes, which allow a high level of interaction with faculty. Compared to the BA and BS Mathematics programs, the Applied Mathematics major requires that each student take a carefully selected sequence of courses focusing on a particular area of application of mathematics.
