Mathematics Major, B.S.

专业介绍

Mathematics has always been a fundamental component of human thought and culture, and the growth of technology in recent times has further increased its importance.

Students majoring in mathematics may enter either the B.A. or the B.S. program. The B.S. program is more comprehensive; it provides solid preparation for work or for further study in mathematics and related fields. Within the B.S. program there is an applied option, which is designed for students who are primarily interested in using mathematics for the study of other sciences. MATH 521 is a key class in the curriculum and MATH 381 is a key to prepare for it. The degree plan should be built with these classes as the backbone, and they should be taken in the second and third year by most students. Please see the sample plan for additional information and suggestions.
