数学是最古老但也是最重要和最美丽的学科之一，也是您职业发展的重要工具。技能开发，计算和常规问题解决虽然很重要，但并不是数学的核心。当前的数学研究富有创造力。数学家通过聪明的灵感和决心而不是死记硬背的计算来解决问题。您可以遵循两个计划来获得硕士学位。在计划I中，学生必须准备论文，而计划II通过课程工作提供更广泛的教育。无论采用哪种计划，都必须完成数学研究生课程顾问和研究生课程主任批准的30个学期的数学课程。其他要求包括：每门课程的成绩必须至少为B。24小时课程必须达到600级或以上。MA 540，MA 54
You have a solid grasp of the science of numbers, but now you want a more theoretical and abstract understanding of math. In this program, we can give you the problem-solving skills you need for a career in business, government, teaching, or another profession.<br><br>As a matter of fact, chances are your job will require knowledge from at least one of our core courses: algebra, analysis, geometry, numerical analysis, probability/statistics, and topology. If you're an undergrad, you may want to take a look at our accelerated master's option. After that, you and your faculty advisor can sit down together, review your career goals, and decide which specialty is better for you. You'll have two options. If you want to pursue an advanced degree, such as a PhD, you'll probably want to choose Plan I (thesis option). With this plan you'll complete both your required coursework and a thesis based on original research. Plan II (non-thesis option) is great for enriching your current career or starting one upon graduation.
