Mathematics
Mathematics is the language of science. Mathematics helps us think analytically. Also, mathematics literacy is essential in our constantly changing world.
Gain a solid foundation in both theoretical and applied mathematics, while being exposed to various vocational areas in the field.
Mathematics majors study calculus, probability and statistics, algebraic structures, number theory, differential equations, linear algebra, geometry and analysis. The curriculum also includes coursework in basic concepts of logic and intermediate levels of computer science.
This program is designed to provide the necessary skills for successful and productive careers in the natural sciences, accounting, astronomy, meteorology, data processing, economics and environmental planning, to name just a few. In addition, students can become prepared for work in the fields of data analysis and the actuarial sciences.
What Sets Us Apart
Prepare for graduate study
The mathematics major provides a solid foundation for graduate study in the mathematical sciences and can be an excellent complementary major on a dual degree path, such as alongside study in biology (for a career in public health research), political science (for pre-law curriculum), or computer science (for a career as a computer analyst, programmer, software developer, or systems engineer).
