BA Mathematics Syllabus

Year I

In the first year of your degree, the BA Mathematics syllabus covers all the fundamental topics
that will give a basic idea as well as the techniques that form the backbone of your study.
Popular topics include Linear Algebra, Differentiation, Integration, Statistics, Probability,
Optimisation, Multivariable Calculus, Dynamics and Geometry, etc. In the first year, students
gain specialist knowledge of mathematical theories, methods, tools and practices.

● Algebra
● Analysis
● Probability and Statistics
● Geometry and Dynamics
● Multivariate Calculus and Mathematical Models

Year II

The BA Mathematics syllabus in the second year allows students to choose their subject of
specialisation. Usually, you are allowed to take around 3 short options from topics like number
theory, graph theory, special relativity and geometric relativity, etc. and 5 to 6 long options in the
entire course in institutions like the University of Oxford. The long options that one may consider
are quantum theory, probability topology and numerical analysis.

Certain colleges give students free hand to design their courses allowing them to focus on
Applied or Pure Mathematics. Besides this, the course includes some elective courses like
Number theory, Geometry, Fluid dynamics, Applied Analysis, Topology, Probability, Statistics,
Numerical Analysis, Graph Theory, Special Relativity, Quantum Theory, etc.

● Algebra
● Complex Analysis
● Metric Spaces
● Differential Equations

Year III

Coming to the end of the degree, the BA Mathematics syllabus can offer you broad choices with
around 50 papers available and one has to choose a combination of 8 papers or so. The 3rd
year gives you the opportunity to explore your mathematical interests in detail, offering a wide
choice for you in fields like Cryptography, Algebraic Topology, Cosmology, General Relativity,
Mathematical Biology, etc. During your final year, you can move to more advanced study and
choose any of the popular courses like Complex Analysis, Discrete Mathematics, Mechanics,
Measure Theory, etc.

● Algebra
● Algebraic and Analytic Topology
● Algebraic and Differential Geometry
● Logic and Set Theory
● Number Theory
● Mathematical Physics
● Mathematical Biology
● Mathematical Geoscience
● Mathematical Philosophy
● Computer Science options
● Theoretical and Statistical Mechanics
● Applied and Numerical Analysis
● History of Mathematics
● Actuarial Mathematics
