数学是定量系统的语言，对于任何希望具备科学素养的人都至关重要。计划的毕业生将对数学思维充满信心，他们会熟悉抽象并且熟练地构建将复杂问题定格的定量模型。该计划的任务是使学生接触到超出一年级入门级微积分之外的高级数学概念和应用的广阔前景。该计划的目的不仅是发展解决问题的能力，而且要发展批判性思维和写作能力。计划的毕业生将广泛接触纯数学和应用数学（包括统计学），因此有适当的准备立即进入就业市场或继续在研究生层次学习。数学专业的毕业生几乎可以在任何需要量化舒适度和推理能力的领域找到工作：计算机，金融（包括银行和保
Mathematics is the language of quantitative systems and is of fundamental importance to any person who wishes to become scientifically literate. Program graduates will be confident mathematical thinkers who are comfortable with abstraction and skilled at constructing quantitative models framing complex problems. The program's mission is to expose students to the vast landscape of advanced mathematical concepts and applications that lie beyond first year introductory calculus. The program aims to develop not only problem solving skills, but also critical thinking and writing skills. Program graduates will have broad exposure to both pure and applied mathematics (including statistics), and thus be suitably prepared to enter the job market immediately or to continue study at the graduate level. Mathematics graduates find employment in virtually any field in which quantitative comfort and reasoning is required: computing, finance (including banking and insurance), government, actuarial science, teaching and research. Postgraduate opportunities likewise exist in mathematics and related disciplines: engineering, business, economics, finance, computer science and law. The Minor in Mathematics offers a wide variety of mathematics and statistics courses for students in degree programs such as science, engineering, commerce, education and the humanities. The Minor in Mathematics combines with Minors or Majors in Biology, Chemistry, Earth Sciences, and Computer Science.
