BA/BS in Mathematics

The Mathematical Sciences major teaches students to reason critically, tackle difficult problems, build mathematical models of real situations, and communicate results clearly. Mathematics supports work in data science, marketing, operations management, economics, and finance. Core courses build a base in calculus and probability, then statistics and either linear algebra or real analysis. Electives can be tailored to personal interests, or students can follow a track in Applied Statistics or one in the Mathematics of Finance. It also readies students for graduate programs heavy in quantitative work, such as data science, economics, or quantitative finance, through solid mathematical training.
