The Mathematics Department endeavors to develop your numerical and analytical abilities to investigate, formulate, analyze and articulate solutions to problems within the discipline of mathematics.

What can I do with a Math major?

Anything you want! A Math major is not a ?door closer,? but is usually seen as a ?door opener.? Employers who see that you have earned a degree with a Math major will perceive you as intelligent, dedicated, and at your core, a problem solver.

With a Bachelor of Arts degree in Mathematics, you will be able to:

  • Communicate mathematical concepts, vocabulary, and notation.
  • Write, critique, and interpret various forms of mathematical proof.
  • Calculate, apply, and synthesize core content (e.g., algebra, calculus, statistics) in mathematics.
  • Utilize effective strategies in problem solving, including data analysis and multiple representations of mathematical ideas (i.e., visualization/graphs, symbolic notations, and numerical data).
