Mathematics (BS)
Mathematics is a powerful tool used in the natural and social sciences for understanding and predicting the world around us. It also has a beauty of logic and structure within itself, as well as being useful for a wide variety of applications. Students interested in the natural and social sciences are encouraged to have a second major or a minor in mathematics. Graduates with a major in mathematics would be employed anywhere there is a need to solve numerical and logical problems.
- Students will demonstrate critical thinking skills in the area of mathematics.
- Students will demonstrate the ability to solve problems related to the program content.
- Students will demonstrate in-depth knowledge of Calculus.
- Students will demonstrate comprehension with a variety of mathematics, chosen from applied and/or theoretical topics.
