• Students prepare to share their skills and knowledge as classroom instructors of math. DePaul’s MS in Mathematics for Teaching is the only graduate program in the area for career-changers planning to teach math at the community college level. Intensive weekend and evening sessions focus on:
    • Differential and integral calculus, numerical algorithms related to calculus and implementation of these algorithms using graphing calculators and web-based software;
    • Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometry using software packages that emphasize content connected to the high school curriculum;
    • Discrete mathematical structures with an emphasis on logic, proof and mathematical reasoning;
    • Probability and statistics with an introduction to combinatorics;
    • History of elementary number theory, algebra and geometry;
    • Topics in abstract algebra that relate to high school courses in algebra, geometry and trigonometry;
    • Differential equations and advanced linear algebra; and
    • Topics in real analysis with an emphasis on improving calculus instruction.
    • The program meets on DePaul’s Lincoln Park Campus and can be completed in as few as 27 months.
