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?

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
A mathematician, like a painter or poet, is a maker of patterns. If his patterns are more permanent than theirs, it is because they are made with ideas.

Mathematics
A marveilous newtrality have these things mathematicall and also a strange participation between things supernaturall, imortall, intellectuall, simple and indivisible, and things naturall, mortall, sensible, compounded and divisible.
John Dee, The mathematicall praeface to the Elements of geometrie of Euclid of Megara (1570) as editor of Euclid's Elements, translated by Henry Billingsley.
Mathematics
Think of it: of the infinity of real numbers, those that are most important to mathematics—0, 1, √2, e and π—are located within less than four units on the number line. A remarkable coincidence? A mere detail in the Creator's grand design? I let the reader decide.
