Mathematics focuses attention on basic concepts and then takes those concepts and creates a practical application for them. A mathematician is known as one who has exceptional reasoning, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. York University's Mathematics program provides an excellent background for many occupations demanding skills in mathematical reasoning and techniques such as finance, cryptography, or computer science. 

Study the beauty of mathematics through the language of abstraction and reasoning. As various scientific disciplines, such as physics, biology and climate science, become progressively more mathematical and quantitative, a degree in Mathematics provides a clear advantage to students wishing to pursue advance degrees in these disciplines. Moreover, mathematics is essential to an understanding of the information and communication technology that has an ever increasing presence in our daily lives.

This program provides an excellent background for many careers demanding skills in mathematical reasoning and techniques. We work with the essential concepts that form the foundation for practical applications in cryptography, computer science, mathematical physics, economics, machine learning, financial engineering, and more. The program also prepares students for graduate studies.
