Mathematics is the theoretical study of the concepts of number, space, form and function. With philosophy, mathematics was one of the first subjects studied by humans, and it has played a major role in the historical development of human intellectual thought. Courses in mathematics are required for continued study in many post-secondary programs. As well, a degree in mathematics (or a closely related discipline) can lead to many interesting and challenging careers in both government and private industry in such areas as statistics, actuarial science, computer science, engineering and technology, economics, business, management and medicine.
