Mission

Mathematical Sciences is an integral part of the strong liberal arts tradition at the 911±¬ÁÏÍøºìÁì½í. We believe a student's education is enriched by studying mathematics, and our courses support the College of Arts and Sciences Core Curriculum. Our Applied Mathematics major and minor programs provide a solid foundation in contemporary mathematics which prepares students to pursue further study and careers in the mathematical sciences and other quantitative and analytical fields. The Mathematical Sciences faculty mentor student research and are active in original scholarship. Through consulting and research collaborations, we are a resource for students and faculty across the University.

Major Description

The Bachelor of Science in Applied Mathematics provides a well-rounded, liberal arts-based education focused on the application of the mathematical sciences for inquiry and problem-solving. The program places emphasis on mathematical modeling and statistical methods, and project-based approaches. The curriculum integrates computational and theoretical approaches to enable students to experience both the power and the beauty of mathematics for problem-solving and exploration. This major gives students the quantitative and analytical skills to support careers in the sciences, business, finance, health, government, and many other fields. The program also prepares students for advanced study in the applied mathematical sciences. Students interested in a double major will find Applied Mathematics to be an excellent complement to majors in the natural sciences and other fields, as many fields continue to experience an increasing reliance on mathematics.
