Department of Mathematics
The department of Mathematics offers students a contemporary and extensive scientific program that prepares them not only to pursue a graduate degree but to seek better employment. The department offers students the opportunity to explore the various areas of current mathematics and applied mathematics in an integrated yet diverse program that builds from a solid foundation of the basic elements of mathematics. Students are exposed to concepts and their modern application, state-of-the-art approaches and current methods of mathematical reasoning within introductory courses. A variety of intermediate courses then provides in-depth exploration of major fields of mathematics. Advanced students may register for graduate-level courses, which are most often given in the specialized areas of faculty research.
The Bachelor of Science program in Mathematics prepares students with the necessary concepts, tools, and techniques to build their abilities to gain substantial depth to deal with the universal and cross-functional mathematical studies needs with the mentality to add value ethically, creatively, realistically, and innovatively.
The intended curriculum provides numerous choices and a variety of courses in the areas of humanities, mathematics, statistics, and sciences. Students will be disciplined with strong cross-functional knowledge links to many other fields, a fact that provides students with a competitive flexibility to pursue allied (or non-allied) interests. The curriculum will arm students with the dynamism to remain current as technologies and systems change.
Mathematics is often labeled the central science because of the instrumental and central roles it plays in all sciences, as well as in engineering. Bachelor's degree mathematicians choose from diverse paths for their short-term and lifetime careers, including graduate study in cross-functional programs, rewarding employment in industry or government, professional consultancy, analytical research, scientific management, science journalism, and education, or much-needed teaching in high schools.
To graduate with a BS degree in Mathematics, a student must complete, in addition to the general, mathematics, and sciences requirements mentioned earlier, a minimum of 52 credits distributed as follows:
MAT 213, MAT 250, MAT 290, MAT 320, MAT 340, MAT 345, MAT 350, MAT 360, MAT 365, MAT 370, MAT 380, MAT 400, MAT 410, MAT 420, MAT 460, MAT 490, MAT 497, and MAT 499.
A total of 06 credits for departmental electives selected from the following courses:
MAT 355, MAT 425, MAT 430, MAT 455, MAT 470, and MAT 492. And one course in Applied Statistics STA 410.
