Degree abbreviations are used as an alternative way to specify an academic degree instead of spelling out the title in full, such as in reference books such as Who's Who and on business cards. Many degree titles have more than one possible abbreviation, with the abbreviation used varying between different universities.
Mathematical chemistry [1] is the area of research engaged in novel applications of mathematics to chemistry; it concerns itself principally with the mathematical modeling of chemical phenomena. [2] Mathematical chemistry has also sometimes been called computer chemistry , but should not be confused with computational chemistry .
These electives are pure sciences (Physics, Chemistry, Biology), mathematics (Physics, Chemistry, Maths), and computer science (Physics, Chemistry, Computer Science). STEM subjects are also offered as electives taken in the 11th and 12th grades, more commonly referred to as first and second year, culminating in Intermediate exams.
www.natsci.tripos.cam.ac.uk The Natural Sciences Tripos ( NST ) is the framework within which most of the science at the University of Cambridge is taught. The tripos includes a wide range of Natural Sciences from physics , astronomy , and geoscience , to chemistry and biology , which are taught alongside the history and philosophy of science .
Mathematics, in the broadest sense, is just a synonym of formal science; but traditionally mathematics means more specifically the coalition of four areas: arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and analysis, which are, to some degree, the study of quantity, structure, space, and change respectively.
Professor of Mathematics at the University of Cardiff; studied as an undergraduate at New College and moved to Jesus College in 1972 [10] John Griffiths (F) 1856 1862 BA Mathematics (1st, 1860), MA (1862) Fellow and Tutor in Mathematics, with a particular interest in analytical geometry [11] [12] [13] Nigel Hitchin (HF) 1965 1968 BA Mathematics
Qualifications vary by region; the East Midlands and London have the most degree-qualified Maths teachers and North East England the least. [9] For England about 40% mostly have a maths degree and around 20% have a BSc degree with QTS or a BEd degree. Around 20% have a PGCE, and around 10% have no higher qualification than A level Maths.
Such categorizations are made difficult by the way mathematics and science change over time, and also by the way universities organize departments, courses, and degrees. Many mathematicians distinguish between "applied mathematics", which is concerned with mathematical methods, and the "applications of mathematics" within science and engineering.
