If you find beauty in the theory of mathematics, learn how the Comprehensive emphasis can prepare you for graduate studies in math and science. Mathematicians can work as university professors, teaching and doing research, or in a variety of scientific fields. The Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics with a Comprehensive emphasis serves as a launching pad for students wishing to attain a graduate degree in mathematics, mathematics education or applied math. Undergraduates immerse themselves in the study of abstract algebra, mathematical analysis and more. They learn to apply rigorous logic and creativity to mathematical problems. In addition, they must complete a minor outside of the Department of Mathematics. Students who major in comprehensive mathematics and another field should be well-prepared for graduate studies in either field. Apply computational methods, Math majors should be able to apply computational methods and mathematical concepts to analyze scientific problems Apply mathematical models to current problems, Math majors should be able to critically evaluate and extend selected mathematical models in the current scientific literature. Create valid proofs, Students should be able to identify an appropriate proof strategy and almost always able to create a correct proof using multiple strategies as appropriate.
