B.Sc. (Hons.) Mathematics

COURSE DESCRIPTION

---

B.Sc. (Hons.) Mathematics or Bachelor of Science Honours in Mathematics is an undergraduate Mathematics course. Mathematics is the study of quantity, structure, space, and change. B.Sc. (Hons.) Mathematics program provides in-depth knowledge about geometry, trigonometry, calculus and various other theories in Mathematics or related disciplines, such as computer science or statistics in addition to study of the normal Bachelor of Science subjects like Physics and Chemistry. The duration of the course is three years and the syllabus for the course is divided into six semesters. This Mathematics Honours course is an important and valuable one that provides opportunities to the candidates of taking some of the subjects of Master’s degree. After completing the course, they can go for many fields to obtain jobs. The course is being offered by many colleges/universities in off and on campuses throughout the country.
