Hi,

Background:
Suppose I have a Cosmophysicsal science degree.
Many people are not aware of this degree.
The degree has a lot of mathematical modules/subjects.
It like a maths degree instead of a physics degree.

Question:
Which sentence is correct?

Sentence1:

I have a Cosmophysicsal science degree. My degree is mathematically based.
Sentence2:
I have a Cosmophysicsal science degree. My degree is mathematical based.
Sentence3:
I have a Cosmophysicsal science degree. My degree is highly mathematical.

Thanks

Re: My degree is mathmatical(ly) based/highly mathmatical

I would choose:

I have a Cosmophysicsal science degree. My degree is mathmatically based.

'mathematical based' is not correct.

You can also say (which I prefer):
I have a degree in Cosmophysical science, which is a highly mathematical field.

It is the field/discipline which is mathematical, not the degree!

not a teacher
