The Mathematical Economics (BMath) program at the University of Waterloo integrates advanced mathematics with economic theory, emphasizing quantitative methods for analyzing economic phenomena. Objectives include developing skills in optimization, game theory, econometrics, and mathematical modeling to solve real-world economic problems. Unique features include the mandatory co-op program, providing up to two years of paid work experience, and a focus on computational economics using tools like MATLAB and Python.
Graduates are well-prepared for roles in finance, consulting, government, and data-driven industries. The program's strong emphasis on co-op placements enhances employability, with many securing positions before graduation.
The program benefits from the Centre for Education in Mathematics and Computing (CEMC) and partnerships with financial institutions like RBC and Manulife for co-op opportunities. Access to high-performance computing resources supports advanced simulations.
