Computational Mathematics

About

Get ready to solve industrial-sized problems

Today, it takes more than a calculator and a few equations to tackle many of the questions facing business and industry. That's where you come in.

In Computational Mathematics you'll study the intersection of mathematics, statistics, optimization, and computer science, to solve problems in business, finance, medicine, science, and technology. You'll learn to analyze data sets, formulae, and images in ways that help us understand the world around us and predict and influence the future.

There's no better place to study it than Waterloo: we're ranked among the world's top 25 schools for math and computer science (QS World University Rankings by Subject 2022), and we have one of the largest co-op networks, too.

You'll learn how to harness the power of computers and data to generate and run mathematical models that understand trends and find industrial-sized solutions.

You'll graduate with a unique blend of skills that will put you in demand for high-end technology jobs around the world.

Your choice: Four years or five. Gain 24 months of paid work experience through Waterloo's co-op program, the largest of its kind in North America, or fast track your degree by choosing the regular system of study.
Add research to your rأ©sumأ©. As an undergraduate research assistant, you could spend a term working with one of our award-winning professors on a research problem.

Career

Student life, including women in mathematics

Math Society (MathSoc)

MathSoc is run by students for students and provides a wide range of clubs and services as well as social and academic events to make your experience as a Waterloo Mathematics student the best it can be.

Campus-wide activities

Outside of the Faculty of Mathematics, our campus is packed with opportunities to get involved. Between clubs, sports and recreation, student government, and an incredible range of events, there's something for everyone!

Women in Mathematics

The Women in Mathematics (WiM) community encourages and advocates for women of all ages who are interested in studying math and pursuing a career in a related area. WiM strives for all genders to be well-represented in mathematics and welcomes people with under-represented gender identities.

Women in Computer Science

Women in Computer Science (WiCS) promotes gender equity for students interested in studying computer science and pursuing career in computing. WiCS has a very active student-run committee and offers workshops, a speaker series, and panels about diversity in computer science and STEM.

There's also Women in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (WiSTEM), a student-run club that welcomes all students (regardless of gender) to promote equality in STEM. Opportunities include skills workshops, discussions, homework help, and guest speakers.

How to Apply

If you plan to be a full-time Waterloo student, you'll apply through the Ontario Universities' Application Centre (OUAC), which handles applications to each of Ontario's universities.

Applying through the OUAC means that you'll apply and/or submit grades to the OUAC instead of multiple Ontario universities. OUAC will send your information to each Ontario university you apply to.

Ontario high school students

If you're currently registered in an Ontario high school, you'll apply using the OUAC 101 application and your high school will send your grade information to us.

All other students

You'll use the OUAC 105 application for full-time studies and you'll need to arrange for your transcripts to be sent to us.

If you're interested in part-time or online studies, there is a separate application process.

Be sure to apply by the application deadline (February 1 for most programs).

Within two weeks of receiving your application from the OUAC, we'll email you with your Waterloo student number and any actions you might need to take.

Tips

We recommend adding myapplication@uwaterloo.ca to your contacts to ensure you receive our emails.
