Mathematics is a fundamental tool used by many disciplines for problem solving, analysis, abstract conceptual thinking, modeling, and research.
The major in Mathematics at the University of Georgia is demanding yet versatile. Students benefit from the individual attention afforded by typically small class sizes, taking courses in linear algebra, geometry, sequences, differential equations, multivariable calculus, topology, number theory, probability, and others. Undergraduate research is encouraged and available through the Vertical Integration of Research and Education (VIGRE) and the Center for Undergraduate Research Opportunities (CURO). An active Math Club further supplements student learning and opportunity.
The Mathematics major can lead to applied careers in actuarial sciences, computer modeling and applications, and optimization and control theory; academic positions in high schools and colleges; or as a stepping stone to professional schools such as law, business, or medicine.
