Why is this course for me?

Mathematics is a basic tool in all scientific subjects, economics, engineering, geography, computer science, banking, business, statistics, social science and in many other fields. In the past 100 years the growth of mathematics has been spectacular, stimulated not only by the needs of science, technology and commerce, but also by the intellectual challenges provided by the discipline itself. The subject possesses a very large collection of problems - many still unresolved - that require highly challenging investigation and great ingenuity.
