The undergraduate degree in mathematics emphasizes knowledge and awareness of:

  • calculus of several variables and vector analysis; 
  • the structure of mathematical proofs and definitions; 
  • basic linear algebra and the theory of vector spaces; 
  • basic real analysis of one variable;
  • at least one additional specialized area of mathematics.

In addition, students completing a degree in mathematics are expected to acquire the ability and skills to:

  • move from concrete to abstract thinking and back with facility;
  • recognize patterns and connections between areas of mathematics and between mathematics and other subjects;
  • organize and construct a logical argument, provide evidence to support arguments and articulate arguments clearly and succinctly, both verbally and in writing.
