Overview


Mathematical Sciences Education

Introduction

Mathematical Sciences Education enables you to explore how mathematics, statistics, and data can inform and change how our society works.

In today's data-driven world, mathematics is increasingly important in technical analysis, policy making, education, health, media, and decision making. Mathematical Sciences Education allows you to balance developing your technical expertise in mathematics with the critical skills of communicating and problem solving.
