Location of Stockholm University
Mathematics is, together with astronomy, the oldest science. Mathematics is more vital now than ever before – new methods are constantly being developed and old problems solved. Mathematics is a critical element in the development of society: with the aid of mathematics it is possible to compute planet orbits, or to describe the world’s population growth or the melting of the Arctic glaciers. Mathematical education is suitable for work in all areas where advanced mathematical methods are used, such as numerical computations in technology and natural science, probability computations, pricing questions in finance or in the construction of codes for safe transmission of data.
