This degree focuses on how mathematics and economics connect and interact. You will not only acquire technical skills but also powers of analysis. The ability to think analytically will enable you to adapt to new developments in your chosen career.
The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) believes that the combination of mathematics and economics instils such an ability. You will be able to understand how rigorous proofs can be given in mathematics, and see how the theories developed can be used in an economics context.
The general skills you will gain will enable you to proceed to a successful career in many fields. In this programme, you will learn how formal mathematics is done-why it is important to have precise definitions, and how results can be proved and techniques justified.
