Introduction
The Department of Mathematics offers a standard undergraduate major program in mathematics with concentrations in pure mathematics, applied mathematics, probability and statistics and teaching mathematics. Courses are provided to satisfy the needs of:
- Students planning graduate study in mathematics or related disciplines
- Students planning to use mathematics in a career in business, industry or government
- Students planning to teach at the elementary or secondary level
- Students majoring in a discipline using mathematics as an analytic or descriptive tool
Learning Goals and Student Learning Outcomes
The following goals and learning outcomes have been established for students pursuing a degree in Mathematics:
Broad Concepts
- All majors should achieve mastery of basic mathematical ideas and techniques ranging across the following fields: single and multivariate calculus, algebra, analysis, probability/statistics, differential equations and mathematical modeling
- All majors should achieve an understanding of the nature of proof
Specific Skills
- Demonstrate the ability to think analytically and critically and to formulate problems, solve them and interpret their solutions
- Demonstrate the ability to use technological tools, e.g., algebraic and visualization software, statistical packages, a high-level programming language
- Demonstrate the ability to apply knowledge from one branch of mathematics to another and from mathematics to other disciplines
- Demonstrate the ability to communicate mathematics both orally and in writing
Mastery of Information Competence Skills
- Determine the nature and extent of information needed
- Access information through both print and electronic data systems
- Analyze and evaluate the credibility and completeness of information sources
- Select, integrate and synthesize information to accomplish a purpose
