The science of mathematics is fundamental to many disciplines and an integral part of a liberal arts education. Quantitative skills such as data analysis, problem solving, pattern recognition and mathematical modeling are increasingly vital to contemporary professions. Entry-level mathematics courses introduce students to basic concepts and tools that are essential to education. Upper-level courses provide students with the opportunity to explore mathematical topics in greater depth.
There are four concentrations of study from which to select a Mathematics major: Pure Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, Statistics, and Mathematics with Teacher Licensure. The requirements for each of these programs are listed within the individual programs.
Declaration of Major
Declaring a major in Mathematics requires a student to complete a Declaration of Major form that must be signed by the department chair. In addition, before declaring a major a student must satisfy the LANG 120 requirement.
Parsons Mathematics Lab
The Parsons Mathematics Lab is operated by a professional staff to help students in their courses. Students are welcome to drop in at any time to obtain help on topics ranging from basic mathematics through calculus. They may use the lab to work on their homework or to meet in study groups. The lab also offers independent study programs for students not prepared for MATH 155 .
