Sup /sci/

Why is a mathematics degree a bachelor of arts degree?

Why isnt it a bachelor of science?

Or is it just my country (aus)

>>	Anonymous Wed Feb 9 03:38:30 2011 No.2502607 I'm pretty sure that here in the U.S you can get either a B.A. or a B.S. in math. Sometimes even at the same institution. The requirements can be different, though.

>>	Anonymous Wed Feb 9 03:41:30 2011 No.2502618 Since when is mathematics a science?

>>	Anonymous Wed Feb 9 03:50:30 2011 No.2502655 mathematics is science at my college

>>	Anonymous Wed Feb 9 03:53:30 2011 No.2502669 At my university, math and all of the pure science degrees are offered as BA or BS. The BS degrees are substantial. The BA degrees are shit.

>>	Anonymous Wed Feb 9 04:27:30 2011 No.2502782 >>2502775 Is the method applied to math...research? What is math research, aside from proving things?

>>	Anonymous Wed Feb 9 04:27:30 2011 No.2502783 B.A here takes less credits than B.S. 64 vs 80

>>	Anonymous Wed Feb 9 04:44:30 2011 No.2502839 yupp. you can get either a B.A. or a B.S. not sure why you would go for a B.A. though sounds like crap to me.

>>	Anonymous Wed Feb 9 05:06:30 2011 No.2502908 >>2502850 more like 2 semesters

>>	Anonymous Wed Feb 9 05:11:30 2011 No.2502920 >>2502908 >32 credits per semester good luck with that

>>	Anonymous Wed Feb 9 05:12:30 2011 No.2502925 >>2502782 well of course theres research in mathematics! what was pythagoras doing hundreds of years ago?

>>	Anonymous Wed Feb 9 05:30:30 2011 No.2502964 my current semester is 80 credits, why cant you do it in 1 semester? my whole course is like 600 credits

>>	Anonymous Wed Feb 9 08:25:30 2011 No.2503294 >>2502588 At mine every course gives you a BA and then an honorary MA after 3 years. All the real Master's degrees make sense though (MA, MSci, MMath etc.).

>>	Anonymous Wed Feb 9 08:26:30 2011 No.2503296 >>2502782 It's proving things. Those things have a habit of becoming useful long after the Mathematician has died though, and often sooner.
