数学为学生适应现代全球社会的需求做好了准备，在现代社会中，需要复杂的定量技能来解决科学，工程，商业，教育和政府方面的挑战性课程。数学家对于计算机科学，工程学，生物信息学，数据挖掘，计算机动画，经济学，流行病学，生态学和气候学领域至关重要。获得数学学士学位的学生可以准备在数学原理，数据分析和解决问题的过程中使用高级数学。数学家与政府，私人公司和研究公司的工程师和科学家紧密合作。应用数学理学学士学位有四个选择：计算机科学，工程学，生物数学和商业。此选项最适合计划上读研究生或从事商业或行业工作的人员。
The mission of the Department of Mathematics is to provide students with an understanding of mathematical knowledge, methods, and analytical skills needed to pursue advanced degrees or careers requiring expertise in mathematics.<br>The Bachelor of Science in Applied Mathematics (B.S.A.M.) is offered with four options: computer sciences, engineering, biomathematics, and business. Each student must select one option and meet those requirements. The options provide a field of application for the mathematics student. All options carry the same mathematics requirement but differ in required supporting subjects. The applied mathematics program provides a solid foundation in undergraduate mathematics in preparation for graduate study or for a position in business or industry.<br>Students who complete the undergraduate program in mathematics or applied mathematics will:<br>Demonstrate the ability to apply algebraic, geometric, calculus and higher-order thinking, and statistical methods to modeling and solving real-world problems.<br>Use mathematical reasoning skills and formal logic to develop convincing mathematical arguments.<br>Use computational tools to enhance mathematical thinking and understanding, to solve mathematical problems, and to judge the reasonableness of the results.
