Enjoy the Flexibility of a Mathematics Degree

Bachelor of Science in Mathematics

With a mathematics major, you can choose from a variety of career options including actuarial work, statistics, inventory control, financial planning, computer programming, systems analyst and more. Your professors will challenge you to think in new ways and they will champion your successes.

Required Courses for Your Major

Discrete Mathematics

This course will provide you with a study of variable types and practical solution methods that use discrete sets such as the natural numbers.

Programming Concepts

In this course, you will learn computer programming at a beginning level, laying a solid foundation for the study of specific computer languages in later courses.

Calculus I

Explore a study of limits and continuity, differentiation of algebraic functions, and elementary integration with applications in this course.

Calculus II

This course is a continuation of Calculus I including the differentiation of transcendental functions and methods of formal integration with applications, and an introduction to sequences and series.

Calculus III

You’ll study the calculus of several variables including vectors, partial derivatives, multiple integrals and Green’s theorem.

Statistics

In this course, you’ll collect and tabulate data, find averages and measures of disbursement, and work with correlation, regression, probability, sampling, and hypothesis testing.

College Geometry

Explore axiomatic systems, introduction to non-Euclidean geometry, and projective geometry in this course.

Mathematical Statistics

You’ll study the theory and applications of statistics using a traditional calculus-based approach. Topics include finite and continuous distributions, inferences, estimation and regression.

Abstract Algebra

In this course, you'll investigate the constructions of modern algebra, including groups, rings, integral domains and fields.

Linear Algebra

This course provides a study of finite-dimensional vector spaces, linear transformations, matrices, and eigenvectors.

Differential Equations

You’ll learn methods of solution and applications of common types of differential equations.

Mathematics Seminar

With the guidance of an instructor, you’ll select, investigate and present on a topic not included in the usual mathematics courses.

Application Programming using C++ 

In this course, you'll study computer programming using the C++ language, including topics that range from variables and expressions to data structures, algorithm development and debugging.
