The MATH program provides comprehensive training across all mathematical disciplines, covering algebra, geometry, differential equations, real and complex analysis, topology, logic, number theory, probability, statistics, and applied mathematics topics. Students begin their mathematics journey with foundational courses in calculus and linear algebra before selecting specialized paths. Personalized guidance is available through departmental advisors who assist with curriculum planning and course selection daily.
Mathematics graduates can enter diverse fields including education, computer science, operations research, statistics, business, and economics. Those pursuing advanced degrees may transition into academic or research mathematics roles. The department's faculty possesses the expertise and resources to equip students for these professional pathways.
All non-introductory mathematics courses prioritize cultivating precise thinking and communication skills, particularly through writing-intensive offerings. Degree requirements include completing PHYS 170/170L and PHYS 272/272L, MATH 244 or 253A, plus 24 credit hours in 300-479 level mathematics courses and 5 additional credit hours in advanced mathematics or related upper-level disciplines.
