"Besides its own beauty, Mathematics is and has always been at the heart of sciences and at the core of so many advancements that the world has witnessed. It continues to provide necessary tools to tackle modern applications that in turn inspire new mathematical questions. Many applications in big data sciences, computer science, engineering, finance, biology, etc., boil down to purely mathematical problems. For many careers, having a solid mathematical foundation is definitely a big advantage, if not a necessity."
Mathematics
Mathematics provides the logical and analytical tools for tackling many of the important problems of our time. By its very nature, mathematics provides the means to break many problems into manageable pieces that can be analyzed and solved, and our research faculty do just that every day.
In fact, mathematical approaches have been central to solving problems and modeling phenomena in a wide array of disciplines. Mathematical thinking is grounded in rigor and abstraction, but draws its vitality from questions arising in the natural world as well as applications to industry and technology. Mathematics majors at NYU Abu Dhabi attain a breadth of knowledge within the field, pursue their own interests in math electives, explore the role of mathematics as an applied discipline, and undertake a capstone project.
