At the end of the programme, the student will be able to: 

• apply their knowledge of relevant mathematical techniques in a variety of contexts
• construct rigorous mathematical arguments through an appropriate use of precise statements, logical deduction and by manipulation of mathematical expressions
• evaluate mathematical models, including an appreciation of the assumptions made, and interpret, justify and present the results from a mathematical analysis in a form relevant to the original problem
• communicate mathematical ideas and methods, including the use of appropriate mathematical notation, terminology, conventions and diagrams, in a clear, logical and well-structured presentation
