program description students will have the opportunity to study the power, elegance, “how,” and “why” of math. in this rigorous program, students will cover the spectrum of mathematics — from classical to modern — including geometry, number theory, and logic. because pure mathematics classes are among the smallest and most cohesive in the faculty of mathematics, students will get to know both classmates and their profs. (profs who are doing ground-breaking research when they’re not in the classroom.) students will also get the opportunity to get paid work experience through co-op. pure mathematics will provide students with problem-solving skills that can be applied in industry, business, government, or graduate school.
