science-algebra-concept

Answer all questions to see if Mathematics (Master's) is the right fit for you!

1. Are you passionate about abstract reasoning, proof techniques, and deep theoretical understanding?

2. Do you want to strengthen your skills in mathematical modeling and applying math to real-world problems?

3. Are you interested in advanced areas like statistics, data analysis, optimization, dynamical systems, or algebraic structures?

4. Are you willing to dedicate time to learning and practicing proof writing, abstraction, and the precision of mathematical language?

5. Do you believe a two-year master’s degree will significantly enhance your ability to contribute to research or high-level quantitative roles?

6. Are you interested in computational tools (e.g., symbolic computation, numerical simulation, programming) to support mathematical work?

7. Do you want to develop the ability to communicate complex mathematical ideas clearly to specialists and non-specialists?

8. Are you prepared to collaborate with professionals in science, engineering, finance, or technology to apply mathematical insights interdisciplinarily?

9. Are you excited by emerging mathematical frontiers like topological data analysis, stochastic modeling in uncertain systems, or AI-driven mathematics?

10. What motivates you most to pursue a master’s in Mathematics?

Definitions and quotes

Mathematics
Mathematics (from Greek μάθημα máthēma, "knowledge, study, learning") is the study of such topics as quantity, structure, space, and change. It has no generally accepted definition.
Mathematics
Mathematics is a versatile art; it can be applied to widely different purposes. Math has no morality; it does not care what it counts or what it proves.
Brian Stableford, Ashes and Tombstones, in Peter Crowther (ed.) Moon Shots (1999), reprinted in David G. Hartwell (ed.) Year's Best SF 5 (2000), p. 412
Mathematics
The science of mathematics presents the most brilliant example of how pure reason may successfully enlarge its domain without the aid of experience.
Immanuel Kant, Critique of Pure Reason (1781) Tr. Max Müller (1881) p. 610.
Mathematics
I united the majority of well-informed persons into a club, which we called by the name of the Junto, and the object of which was to improve our understandings. ... The first members of our club were...
Thomas Godfrey, a self-taught mathematician, and afterwards inventor of what is now called Hadley's dial; but he had little knowledge out of his own line, and was insupportable in company, always requiring, like the majority of mathematicians that have fallen in my way, an unusual precision in everything that is said, continually contradicting, or making trifling distinctions—a sure way of defeating all the ends of conversation. He very soon left us.
