B.A. or B.S. in Mathematics
Mathematics is the study of patterns and order. It is a science, a language, and an art. Applications of mathematics include the modeling of physical, biological, economic, and social phenomena.
ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½’s mathematics faculty are not only excellent teachers, but also active researchers who understand the importance of immersing students in a rigorousÌý–Ìýyet supportiveÌý–Ìýenvironment. Every mathematics majorÌýhas the opportunity toÌýwork one-on-one with faculty members pursuing research projects.
Students pursuing a Bachelor of Arts degree study courses that provide a breadth of knowledge, while Bachelor of Science students study continuation courses to also add depth. Most students who would like to attain a secondary teaching license pursue a BA degree. All students take courses in Calculus, Multivariable Calculus, Linear Algebra, Real Analysis, and Abstract Algebra. After that, degrees are versatile with options for completion from a list including Real Analysis 2, Abstract Algebra 2, Combinatorics, Graph Theory, Number Theory, Numerical Analysis, Geometry, etc.
