Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Mathematics is a 3-year undergraduate program designed to develop a deep understanding of mathematical theory and its applications across real-world scenarios. Unlike B.Sc. Mathematics, this program emphasizes a broader liberal arts foundation while maintaining strong mathematical rigor.

This course builds analytical, logical, and problem-solving skills that are essential for competitive exams, teaching, research, finance, and public sector roles.

Key Subjects Include:

• Calculus and Differential Equations
• Algebra and Trigonometry
• Linear Algebra and Vector Spaces
• Real and Complex Analysis
• Number Theory and Probability
• Mathematical Logic and Set Theory
• Numerical Methods and Computation
• Mathematical Modelling and Statistics
• Discrete Mathematics
• History of Mathematics
• Optional Courses in Economics / Computer Science

The course may also include practical problem-solving sessions, projects, and software-based learning tools such as MATLAB or Python, depending on the institution.

🎓 Eligibility Criteria

• Completed 10+2 (any stream) from a recognized board.
• Mathematics as a subject in 10+2 is usually required.
• Minimum 45%–50% aggregate marks (varies by university).
• No entrance exam in most cases; merit-based or direct admission.

A BA in Mathematics opens up wide-ranging opportunities across education, government, corporate, and research sectors, such as:

• Mathematics Teacher / Lecturer
• Data Analyst / Statistician
• Banking and Financial Services Officer
• Market Research Analyst
• Actuarial Assistant / Insurance Analyst
• Competitive Exam Specialist (UPSC, SSC, etc.)
• Operations Executive / Supply Chain Analyst
• Academic Research Assistant
• Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs)
• Mathematics Content Developer / EdTech Expert

Students can also go on to pursue M.A. or M.Sc. in Mathematics, MCA, MBA, or specialized certification programs in Data Science, Machine Learning, or Actuarial Sciences.
