Mathematics Because of the importance of mathematics in many fields, the program offers a wide range of courses designed both to develop mental discipline and logical thinking and to prepare students for a variety of math related careers. More advanced courses are planned as a solid basis of graduate study, for professional examinations such as those given by the Actuarial Society, and for employment in most public- and private sector industries, and teaching. Course work in physics is required for its examples of mathematical modeling and to promote an understanding of the physical universe, space, energy and similar contemporary concerns.
Mathematics Major
Ten courses in Mathematics beginning with Mathematics 141, and including 311, 316, 350 and 351; Physics 101 and 102; competency in at least one computer language.Students also seeking a co-major in education must consult that department and plan a program before registering for the sophomore year. Students seeking mathematics education certification must include Mathematics 210 and 324 in their program of study.
One may earn a B.A. or B.S. in mathematics. To earn a B.S. the student must take five additional courses in mathematics or science or in other areas with sufficient analytical content (check with the department).
