Dropout rate from the mathematics programme

In spring 2008 Department of Mathematical Science asked Department of Science Education to identify causes for the early dropout from the mathematics programme, i.e. reasons for the students to leave the undergraduate programme in mathematics during the first couple of years. In particular factors which the department's educational responsible can take action on are of interest here.

We have to take a closer look at the students who began their study programme in autumn 2006.
