Overview
This course in the theory and practice of mathematics is specially designed for students in the CACSSS who want to further develop their interest in mathematics. Itcan also provide a route into teaching mathematics at second-level.
The BA in Mathematical Studiesis an option in the BA Arts (Honours) degree andcomplements other numerically based options in the BA Arts degree, for example Economics or Geography.
Course Details
You will develop the theoretical underpinning of the mathematics you studied at school, while also developing applications of Mathematics to problems in the wider world.Throughout the degree you will learn written and oral presentation skills, for example, how to present a logic argument, perhaps backed up by numerical data.
Year 1 Modules:
Three modules will consolidate what you will have learnt in school and provide the building blocks for the rest of the degree:
Year 2Modules:
You will build on this foundation, with modules chosen from the following:
Year 3Modules:

Course Practicalities
Year 1:You will spend one quarter of your time doing Mathematical Studies, with three hours of lectures per week, and a tutorial.
Years 2 and 3:You will spend either one half or one third of your time doing Mathematical Studies, taking either four or six modules in each year. Each module has two hours of lectures and a one hour tutorial each week over the course of a 12-week semester. Problems will be assigned in the lectures for you to prepare for discussion in the tutorials.
Assessment
Written exams will take place before Christmas and in May. Not all modules will have formal examinations. Many modules use other types of assessment including in-class tests, take-home problems etc.
Lecturers take care to give you as much feedback on your progress as possible.
