The student exiting the programs in the mathematical sciences will:

• Analyze and solve problems in the areas of algebra, analysis, statistics and geometry. The student should be able to work individually and as a member of a team. Depending on the program emphasis, the student should possess the concept comprehension skills mentioned above at a sufficient level of expertise to function successfully as a teacher of mathematics, as a contributing member in business or industry, or as a graduate student pursuing an advanced degree in mathematics or statistics.
• Use technology as an aid in the solution of problems. Specifically, the student should be able to write and effectively use programs for computers and graphing calculators.
• Develop appropriate learning skills to foster the investigation of mathematical ideas and direct his/her own learning.
• Communicate the mathematical ideas learned in the program to others. This ability should exist in both written and oral forms of communication.
