The B.S. program in mathematics provides a foundation for students who wish to pursue graduate studies in any area of the mathematical sciences, to enter the actuarial profession, or to enter careers where mathematics is used in an engineering or science setting. The elective courses can be used to complement a chosen career path. Those planning on pursuing an actuarial career should consider completing the actuarial science minor described below.
All students pursuing a bachelor of science in mathematics are required to complete a minor in another subject.
The B.S. program in applied mathematical economics provides a foundation in economics, mathematics and statistics needed for graduate study in economics or applied statistics, or for research and technical careers in business or government service.
The B.A. program in mathematics provides for a breadth of mathematical study within the context of a liberal arts degree. It may be chosen as a preparation for a professional career in business, education, law, or social science. It affords students a significant distribution of courses in the humanities and social sciences so that they can develop a concentration in a field other than mathematics. A student's career goals can suggest desirable upper level mathematics electives. Prospective secondary mathematics teachers should consider pursuing the B.A. in mathematics as a second major.
A minor in mathematics consists of 12 semester hours (300-400 level).
A minor in actuarial science is offered through the Department of Mathematics. This consists of courses in calculus, statistics, theory of interest, economics, and finance, and is designed to prepare the student to take the actuarial examinations in probability and financial mathematics.
The basic courses are offered every term:
| MTH 168 | Analytic Geometry & Calculus I | 4 |
| MTH 169 | Analytic Geometry & Calculus II | 4 |
| MTH 218 | Analytic Geometry & Calculus III | 4 |
| MTH 219 | Applied Differential Equations | 3 |
| MTH 308 | Foundations & Discrete Mathematics | 3 |
| MTH 310 | Linear Algebra & Matrices | 3 |
Most majors should take MTH 218 and MTH 308 in the same term.
The required core courses are offered once a year:
| MTH 330 | Intermediate Analysis | 3 |
| MTH 361 | Introduction to Abstract Algebra | 3 |
| MTH 411 | Probability & Statistics I | 3 |
| MTH 412 | Probability & Statistics II | 3 |
| MTH 430 | Real Analysis | 3 |
However, most of the other upper-level electives for the major are offered only once every two years; thus careful planning for a student's upper-level electives should be done in consultation with the advisor.
