MATHEMATICAL SCIENCES (Code: MA) The study of the measurement, properties, and relationships of quantities and sets, using numbers and symbols. The deductive study of numbers, geometry, and various abstract constructs, or structures. Mathematics is very broadly divided into foundations, algebra, analysis, geometry, and applied mathematics, which includes theoretical computer science.

**Subcategories:** Algebra Analysis Applied Mathematics Geometry Probability and Statistics

**ANAL Analysis** - The study of mathematical analysis involves the use of infinite processes. The basic branch of analysis is calculus. The general problem of measuring lengths, areas, volumes, and other quantities as limits by means of approximating polygonal figures leads to the integral calculus. **COMP Computer/Applied Mathematics** - Branch of mathematics that concerns itself with the mathematical techniques typically used in the application of mathematical knowledge to other domains. **GEO Geometry** - The study of the shape, size, and other properties of figures and the nature of space. **STAT Probability and Statistics** - Mathematical study of phenomena characterized by randomness or uncertainty and the study of statistical tools used to analyze, interpret and present data.
 * ALG Algebra ** - The study of solutions of one or several algebraic equations, involving the polynomial functions of one or several variables. This includes the study of arithmetic and number theory.
