What it is	A program where you study pure mathematics and applied statistics together, building strong foundations in both subjects before specializing. The co-op requirement means you alternate between classroom terms and paid work terms at employers who use these skills. It suits students who enjoy both abstract problem-solving and real-world data analysis, and who want work experience alongside their degree.	Applied Mathematics is a degree program focused on using mathematical and statistical tools to solve real-world problems in science, engineering, business and other fields. Unlike pure mathematics, which emphasizes theory, applied mathematics centers on practical applications and methods you can use to model and analyze systems. Co-op is optional, letting you alternate study terms with paid work placements in relevant industries. This program suits students who enjoy mathematics and want to see how it works in actual problem-solving contexts.	You study computer science and mathematics together over five years, learning how to write code, analyse data, and solve problems using mathematical theory and statistical methods. Unlike a single major, this double degree gives you depth in both fields so you can build algorithms and understand the theory behind them. It suits people who want flexibility between pure mathematics and applied programming, and who value alternating work terms with their studies.
