Students learn to think critically about calculus and advanced calculus, linear algebra, methods of proof, abstract algebra, computer programming, and statistics. The math major offers a liberal arts component that requires students to acquire a broad background in communication skills, humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences. The core focus of the major is on developing students’ understanding and appreciation of the mathematical sciences, problem-solving skills, and their ability to combine knowledge and skills in productive ways. Four concentrations are available that relate to the student’s specific career goals and interests. These can range from actuarial science to mathematics education for those interested in these fields.
