You’ll learn to use the typesetting software LaTeX, which mathematicians and statisticians use to present their work.In your second year, you’ll continue to build a powerful toolbox of mathematical techniques. You’ll also learn how to apply your statistics knowledge to increasingly complex problems through statistical modelling and computer simulations. There are optional modules on topics including algebra, mechanics and fluids.Optional placement year, Study abroad
