Mathematics, B.S.

The Mathematics B.S. prepares students for all sorts of careers where careful thinking, analysis, deduction, and computation is required.  Students begin with a foundation in the basics of calculus and proof.  They then are free to pick from the four areas of abstract, analytical, applied, and geometric mathematics.  Finally, they complete their degree with upper-level math courses that suit their particular interests.
