Overview

The major in mathematics emphasizes the understanding of mathematical reasoning and process as foundational for the ability to do calculations. The basic theories and principles of mathematics are treated along with their applications to multiple situations. Mathematical understanding and rigorous calculation prepare students for graduate work and for careers in science, business, social sciences, teaching at the secondary level, and other careers that require applied mathematics.

Objectives

  • Understanding of the fundamental rationale of mathematic processes.
  • Familiarity with a general history of the development of mathematics.
  • Demonstration of ability to do calculations appropriate to situations at the levels of course requirements.
  • Demonstration of ability to apply appropriate mathematical analysis to different situations.

Entrance to the Major

There are no formal entrance requirements to the Mathematics Major. The sequential nature of the requirements dictate that a student interested in the Mathematics Major or the Education Math Endorsement should be started the first semester. Working with a mathematics advisor is necessary for timely progression. Interested students will meet standard math entrance requirements for the courses they want to take as specified in the course descriptions and by the math placement policies of the University.
