Mathematics

The major in mathematics enables students to develop proficiency in calculus, differential equations, advanced calculus, linear algebra and abstract algebra, and expose them to several other mathematical areas beyond these core fields. Students will learn to read and to construct mathematical proofs, to reason in abstract mathematical systems and to use mathematical models. Students will also acquire the ability to read new mathematics and to formulate mathematical models and arguments.

Before Graduating Students Must

• Be evaluated on your responses to certain examination questions in upper-division courses that are required for your degree.
• Complete requirements for the baccalaureate degree, as determined by faculty.
