Major

The mathematics curriculum aims to:

• present the basic concepts and methods of modern mathematics
  
  
• develop the student’s ability to think critically, analytically, logically, and using axiomatic methods, and
  
  
• apply these ideas to other disciplines.

This major provides mathematical background for:

• graduate study in a mathematical discipline
  
  
• a career in an area using mathematics such as engineering, economics, statistics, or actuarial science, and
  
  
• secondary school mathematics teacher certification.

Students who major in mathematics complete a core of mathematics and supporting courses that include Calculus II, Linear Algebra, Modern Algebra, Analysis, Historical Foundations, Physics, and Computer Science. Majors select at least three additional elective courses in mathematics from Geometry, Probability and Statistics, Analysis II, Modern Algebra II, Math Modeling, Discrete Mathematics, as well as from other math course options.
