Mathematics is the study of numbers, shapes and relationships through the use of deductive reasoning, and includes both the elegance of pure theory and the application of this theory to all human endeavours. Students cover topics from the fields of algebra, analysis, geometry and applied mathematics.

Statistics is the science of collecting and analyzing data. Probability theory, the study of uncertainty, provides the foundation for all statistical models. Principles of probability theory and statistics are used to make decisions in the insurance industry, healthcare industry, the financial world, and in engineering.
