Our mathematics courses stress conceptual understanding of the development of mathematical thinking and will take you far beyond mere numerical computation.
As an application tool, mathematics uncovers the structures and relationships that help us understand the nature and problems of the world around us. Mathematics expresses its concepts in symbols and graphic representations within a framework of logical inference that serves as the universal language for communicating technical knowledge.
A major in mathematics is one of the finest courses of study for developing ability in analytical thinking. Combined with an appropriate concentration of application courses, a major in mathematics prepares you for a wide range of career and educational opportunities.
As an academic discipline, mathematics shapes and sharpens the rational capabilities of the mind. It is a mode of thinking that empowers us to absorb new ideas, adapt to rapid change, cope with ambiguity, recognize patterns, solve unconventional problems, analyze complexity, work with abstract concepts and relationships, detect bias, assess risks, and suggest alternatives. Increasingly these are the capacities of mind that are needed for responsible citizenship and successful careers.
