Mathematics is the language of the sciences, a lan- guage which allows scientists to quantify, model, understand and predict behaviour in an enormously diverse range of phenomena of interest. Simultane- ously, Mathematics is often regarded as an art, as it is the creative study of patterns and of problem solving. Mathematics covers a wide range of disci- plines including algebra, analysis, combinatorics and discrete mathematics, and differential equations.

The Music Department is constantly redesigning and expanding its programs, allowing students to help realize their full potential as musicians or per- haps discover music’s power for the first time in an ever-changing, ever-shrinking artistic world. In an ef- fort to meet the demands of music in the 21 st cen- tury, students at Bishop’s have the choice of pursu- ing studies in two different disciplines: traditional Classical Music or in the burgeoning area of Popular Music Studies (Jazz, Rock & Pop). Interdisciplinary programs include degrees in Arts Administration and Music Education, both with a music emphasis.

The Department of Modern Languages is the choice of studentswho enjoy learning about other languag- es and cultures and who realize the importance of communication in all aspects of contemporary life. Students soon discover the value of another lan- guage, not only in providing greater employment and career opportunities, but also in providing different insights, a fuller and richer perspective on different cultures, academic disciplines, and, in fact, on all aspects of life.
