Mathematics Degree Plan
The basic four-year course of study follows the outline below:
Calculus I and II
Calculus III, linear algebra, mathematics
Applied mathematics, differential equations,
Analysis, abstract algebra, history of
mathematics, and a capstone course in problem solving
Students may choose to add one of the following concentrations:
Engineering Mathematics prepares students to enter an
engineering program in applied mathematics. Students add selected courses in
applied mathematics and engineering.
Actuarial Science prepares students for careers as
actuaries. Students add selected courses in statistics, as well as courses in
applied mathematics and in finance. They also prepare for the first actuarial
Mathematics Education prepares students for careers as
secondary school mathematics teachers. Students add education courses and
experience in student teaching.
A solid background in high school mathematics is expected. Students desiring
to major or minor in mathematics usually start with Calculus I, although
advanced placement is available. For those requiring background for success in
calculus, a precalculus course called "The Mathematics of Motion and Change"
provides an interesting introduction.
