Mathematics at Imperial aims to present a wide range of mathematical ideas in a way that develops your critical and intellectual abilities. You will cover both topics that are a direct continuation of those at A-level and those that introduce you to new ways of thinking, such as the logical structure of arguments, the proper definition of mathematical objects, the design of sophisticated mathematical models, and the legitimacy of computations. On the BSc in Mathematics, Optimisation and Statistics course, you will specialise in Optimisation and Statistics in your third year, when you take at least six modules from a variety of relevant topics such as applied probability, time series and scientific computation. You can choose your remaining optional modules from our extensive selection of topics in other areas of mathematics, many of which are linked to our cutting edge research.
