Mathematics is the language of the sciences, a language 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.

Physics discovers and applies the fundamental laws that govern nature on many different scales: from the smallest elementary particles, to planetary mo tion and star formation, to galaxies all the way up to the universe itself (cosmology). This involves work ing with beautiful physical concepts as well as ele gant and powerful mathematical and computational tools. Disciplines include astrophysics, gravitation al physics, quantum field theory & particle physics and experimental physics (e.g. optical spectroscopy and plasma physics). Career possibilities Research (either in academia or non-academic institutions (e.g. NRC)) Industry (aerospace, software development, phar maceutical companies, defense, etc.) Teaching: CEGEP or University/College instructor.
