Mathematics Major

Mathematicians seek to make sense of the natural world by recognizing patterns. They establish theorems confirming their discoveries using the techniques of logic. As a Mathematics major, you will work closely with your professors to learn problem solving methods, develop your own conjectures and mathematically prove your conjectures using logical reasoning. When you graduate with a degree in mathematics, you will be well prepared either to begin a career in industry or to continue your mathematical studies in a graduate program.

 

Careers in Mathematics

Career opportunities lie in various fields including actuarial science, government work, software design or pure mathematics.
