The Mathematics program builds a strong foundation of mathematical theory and applied mathematical skills. Upon completion of a Mathematics major, graduates will

  • Perform advanced mathematical operations - e.g. differentiation, integration, finding limits and inverses, algebraic (matrix), counting (permutations and combinations), and geometric constructions.
  • Prove mathematical results using a variety of proof techniques and counterexamples.
  • Communicate mathematics clearly and precisely using proper terminology, pronunciation, and notation.
  • Find and represent their solutions to applied problems using a variety of quantitative methods.
  • Analyze ethical issues related to the use of mathematics in decisions likely to be encountered in one's professional career.
