Mathematics: Home
Mathematics, an ancient discipline, is both an art and a science. As a basic discipline in the liberal arts, the mathematics program strives to teach problem solving, logical analysis, and abstraction. Through its curriculum it fosters the development of understanding and mathematical skills. It provides the opportunity for students to experience the connections that exist among other disciplines, and opens students to the ideas and visions they might never have considered otherwise. Very practically, mathematics provides students with the foundational skills to become effective leaders in a wide variety of other disciplines as ethical and professional individuals.
The Department of Mathematics offers programs leading to the Bachelor of Science and the Bachelor of Arts degrees. We have made it easy to combine a major or minor in mathematics with a major or minor in computer science or physics. Students in mathematics can prepare themselves for graduate work or for careers in teaching, business, industry, or government.
The department makes extensive use of computer algebra systems and calculators in its courses.
