计算数学专业为学生提供数学研究生课程和工业职业的准备。它与“应用数学集中”相似，但是，该集中的课程工作强调在应用数学中使用数值方法。数学是数，形，概率和量度的科学。它是一种通用语言，其中以最简单的形式陈述信息。数学具有双重性质-它是一门独立的学科，因其精确性和优雅而受到重视，它是许多（即使不是大多数）其他科学事业的思想和技术的重要来源。该本科课程的结构旨在提供广泛的数学文科教育，以及集中于七个重点领域之一。
The Computational Mathematics concentration prepares students both for graduate work in mathematics and careers in industry. It is similar to the Applied Mathematics Concentration, however, the course work in this concentration emphasizes the use of numerical methods in applied mathematics. Mathematics is the science of numbers, shapes, probabilities, and measurements. It is a universal language in which information is stated in the simplest possible form. Mathematics has a dual nature-it is an independent discipline valued for its precision and elegance, and it is an essential source of ideas and techniques for many, if not most, other scientific endeavors. The undergraduate program is structured to provide both a broad liberal arts education in mathematics, as well as a concentration in one of seven focused areas.
