About Mathematics
Mathematicians think critically, reason logically and solve problems. These are skills that many employers find highly desirable, but it is not all about jobs and money. Mathematics is a natural human activity practiced by many cultures for thousands of years. Our primary aim is to give you a solid foundation in mathematics that will help you appreciate its power, beauty and usefulness.

What Will I Learn?
The required math courses are designed to give you a solid foundation. There is plenty of room in the program for elective math and non-math courses that interest you. That being said, picking up at least one minor in a math-related field is strongly encouraged. If you choose to pursue the B.S., you also will be taking classes in applied sciences.
