Mathematics

New Student Info: MATHEMATICS

Mathematics is a diverse discipline that reveals hidden patterns and allows us to deepen our understanding of the world around us. The discipline of mathematics is constantly evolving, creating exciting new theories, addressing challenging problems, and finding solutions to problems in engineering, business, the sciences, and the social sciences.  Mathematics deals with data, measurement, observation, inference, deduction, and proof.

Mathematicians make it possible to send secure email. Mathematicians create abstract models for real problems in order to find solutions to those problems. Mathematicians analyse data to make predictions about natural phenomena, human behaviour and social systems.

The Kwantlen Mathematics Department offers courses from high school grade 10 level to fourth year university level.

Mathematics problem of the week

Do you like puzzles and problems? Then this is for you. During the Fall and Spring terms a new problem is posted every week. Most problems do not require specialized mathematical knowledge; just basic concepts, logical thinking, and a willingness to explore. There are prizes! Go to  Mathematics Problem of the Week for more information and to sign up to have the problems emailed to you.
