Bachelor of Mathematics in Applied Mathematics (Honours)

The department has very active undergraduate and graduate programs. Approximately 30 students graduate from the department each year with BMath Honours degrees in Applied Mathematics or Mathematical Physics. Use your understanding of mathematical concepts to solve complex problems in engineering, medicine, business, and science, from the behaviour of ocean waves to the structure of space time. In Applied Mathematics, you’ll deepen your knowledge of calculus and differential equations: the foundation for most mathematical models. You’ll have lots of opportunity to put those tools to work on real life problems in the classroom and, if you choose co op, during your work terms. Many of our Applied Mathematics graduates work in research, development, and consulting. Others pursue graduate studies in applied mathematics, computer science, engineering, or physics. Either way, your Waterloo degree will open doors.
