The Department of Mathematics offers Bachelor’s degrees in Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, and Secondary Education Mathematics. In addition to mastering specific mathematical content, mathematics majors develop excellent general skills in problem solving and precise analytical thinking. Graduates of the program are prepared for more advanced study in mathematics itself, or for careers in any of the increasingly wide variety of areas where mathematical tools and thinking play an essential role. Topics of interest range from Cryptology to Statistics, from Differential Equations to Mathematics Pedagogy. The Senior Thesis in Mathematical Sciences course allows students to engage in independent mathematical work in an active and modern subject area of the mathematical sciences, guided by an official research faculty member in the department of mathematics and culminating in a written thesis presented in an appropriate public forum.
