Bachelor in Mathematical Sciences (Actuarial Science)

For the first time, TU School of Mathematical Sciences is going to launch Bachelor in Mathematical Sciences (BMathSc) Program.

The program is full time, of 8 Semesters in 4 years in duration. Bachelor in Mathematical Sciences courses basically comprises of some compulsory foundational courses consisting of fundamentals of Mathematics, Statistics, and Computer Science and Information Technology plus some elective courses from a list of courses which may vary from year to year as a multi-exit model decided by the subject committee. There will also be some courses covering Technical Writing Communication English, Humanities and Social Sciences, Management, Natural Sciences not related with the area of concentration taken.

In the modern world, computational simulations are everywhere and the amount of data available for many enterprises is increasing exponentially. The Internet makes these large quantities of data readily available for many enterprises. Many areas of science, engineering, and industry are now concerned with building and evaluating mathematical models, exploring them computationally, and analyzing enormous amounts of observed and computed data. These activities are all inherently mathematical in nature.

Thus, the Modern Computerized World demands the human resource having all three – analytical ability, data processing capability and fast computing efficiency, i.e., the combined knowledge of Mathematics, Statistics, and Computer Science and Information Technology. The practice has shown that such human resourse cannot be produced by the present system of education in Nepal.

Tribhuvan University has quite recently taken up this as a challenge and has decided to run Bachelor and Master Degree Program in Mathematical Sciences that will help produce at least a critical mass of experts with sound knowledge of fundamentals of mathematics, statistical and analytical capability and fluent computational skills.

What is Mathematical Sciences ?

Mathematical Sciences is a group of disciplines involving Mathematics as a core subject. The Mathematical Sciences tends to be invisible, but it is prevalent wherever

• computers are used,
• data are available,
• Physics or Chemistry is applied,
• Geometry is significant,
• Statistics is employed,
• processes or designs are optimized.

Mathematical Sciences is used in almost every type of business; large or small. Studying Mathematical Sciences means you can work in other fields, such as Chemistry, Biology, Earth Sciences, Computing, Economics, Finance, Engineering, Physics, Electronics, Banking and Meteorology, to list just a few disciplines.

Computers boost Mathematical Sciences

No science has a broader reach than the Mathematical Sciences. Especially, the advent of Computational Science and the recent data explosion have led to an enormous increase in the relevance and impact of the Mathematical Sciences.

Base of Mathematical Sciences Work

Mathematical Sciences work involves the integration of Mathematics, Statistics, and Computation in the broadest sense and the interplay of these areas with areas of potential application. All of these activities are crucial to Economic growth, National competitiveness, and National security.
