Mathematics is a science; it is an art; it is a precise and concise language, and it is a great problem-solving tool. Thus mathematics is the SALT of life. To learn a language, such as English or Russian, first you have to learn its alphabet, grammar, and syntax; you also have to build up a decent vocabulary to speak, read, or write. Each takes a lot of time and practice.
BSc Mathematics is a 3 year (6 Semester) undergraduate academic degree course offered to those graduates who have successfully completed a program in Mathematics.
