Mathematics has been part of human knowledge since the beginning, the rudiments of which precede writing. Its development is intimately linked to human advancement and progress.
On the one hand, mathematics is a basic and fundamental science, needed for most other sciences and for engineering, all of which require it in order to fully develop. Any technological advance is based on the appropriate use of mathematics.
Currently, the interconnections with Economics, Biology, Medicine, Geology, and Optics etc. have increased exponentially, where mathematical modelling and the computation of efficient algorithms are leading to great scientific, technical and social advances.
From the applied point of view, mathematics throughout history has been concerned with analysing and responding to the concerns and problems arising in real and everyday life.
At the same time, it is a pure science where knowledge can be created axiomatically. This knowledge allows one to create structures and theories that give value to our understanding and that, in many cases, are applied in fields far from their theoretical origin.
The effectiveness of the Degree in Mathematics lies in the harmonious conjunction of the pure and applied sides.
Suggested profile for newly enrolled students
The ideal student profile for the Degree in Mathematics is someone who studied science at the upper secondary level, who is interested in and likes mathematics, but also physics and computer science, as a way of solving both real-life and abstract problems.
A student wishing to study these subjects must have:
- a positive predisposition to mathematics in particular and to science and technology in general. For this, it is desirable to have certain skills acquired at the upper secondary level in managing mathematical concepts i.
- A critical spirit that leads you to discover new concepts and allows you to generate different approaches to a problem, observing different alternatives rather than using a single approach.
- To be well motivated when faced with challenges. Problem-solving is probably the most characteristic task of a mathematician and one that gives them added value in the labour market.
- A good working capacity. Discipline and planning are essential for acquiring the necessary competencies that a mathematics professional must have.
If we wish to summarize everything mentioned in a phrase, we could say that the student who wants to study mathematics has to be eager to learn, diving deep into conceptual understanding to extract the essence of mathematical knowledge.
