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.
Learning Outcomes
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. Define Terms Precisely; Precision is essential in mathematics, and a crucial skill for math majors is to learn to define mathematical terms precisely. Effective communication of results; Math majors should be able to effectively communicate results to non-specialized audiences in written and verbal form. Recognize valid arguments; Logical rigor is a critical component of mathematical argumentation. We expect math majors to develop the ability to recognize when arguments are valid, and identify logical gaps and flaws.
