Bachelor of Mathematics
Encyclopedia : B : BA : BAC : Bachelor of Mathematics
A Bachelor of Mathematics is an undergraduate academic degree awarded for a courses taken in the study of mathematics or related disciplines, such as computer science or statistics.
In practice, this is essentially equivalent to a Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Arts degree with a specialty in mathematics. Relatively few institutions award Bachelor of Mathematics degrees, and the distinction between institutions which do award such degrees and those which award B.Sc or B.A. degrees for mathematics is usually one of university bureaucracy, rather than curriculum. However, schools who offer a Bachelor of Mathematics degree argue for a separate Degree as the study of Mathematics is vastly different from any branch in Science or Arts.
The Bachelor of Mathematics degree is frequently abbreviated as B.Math.
