Mathematics:  

Mission: The Mathematics program at 91porn原创 fosters a community of faculty and students who promote the aesthetic, theoretic, and pragmatic qualities of mathematics in order to develop in its students communication and problem solving skills applicable to many disciplines that prepare them for fulfilling careers.

The Mathematics and Computer Science department offers three tracks for students in Pure Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, or Actuarial Science.  Study in this department ensures you'll gain valuable skills that will help you throughout your work life. You'll learn how to problem-solve and how to approach mathematics as a tool while gaining an in-depth knowledge of software and systems concepts in computer science, learning where they may fit in the quickly growing field of technology.

Pure Mathematics Track: Students interested in a broad mathematics background or students who plan to attend graduate school in mathematics should consider the Pure Mathematics Track.  The Pure Mathematics track also provides quantitative and analytical skills, which prepare students to enter the workforce after graduation. Early, Middle, and Secondary education students are encouraged to follow the Pure Mathematics Track.

Applied Mathematics Track: Students interested in working in business or industry or students who plan to attend graduate school in applied mathematics should consider the Applied Mathematics Track.  The Applied Mathematics Track provides a strong foundation of mathematics and the tools required to solve real-world problems.

Actuarial Science Track: Students interested in becoming an actuary should follow the Actuarial Science Track. An actuary is a mathematician trained to analyze information to calculate the monetary value of risk.  Actuaries progress in their professional career by passing a series of actuarial exams. The Actuarial Science Track prepares students for the first two actuarial exams (EXAM P and FM), giving them a solid foundation to begin a career as an actuary.  

The Major in Mathematics

The Mathematics program consists of three distinct tracks: Pure Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, and Actuarial Science.  All mathematics majors are required to select a track when declaring their major.

All three tracks require the following four courses:  MATH 170 (or its equivalent sequence MATH 106 and MATH 166), MATH 171, 211, and 212.   In addition, all three tracks require a capstone experience. MATH 370 will serve as the capstone experience for most majors. Successful completion of MATH 400-401 (Honors) can serve as an alternative capstone experience, although students who plan to pursue an Honors project are encouraged to take MATH 370 in their junior year.  In addition, students must have at least three courses numbered 310-384, 390-399, or 400-401. (One of these three may be MATH 370.)

In order that students may understand and experience the depth and breadth of mathematics, the department鈥檚 major courses (other than the required courses and MATH 370) have been grouped into two areas: pure mathematics courses and applied mathematics courses.  

Current catalog courses in each of these areas are as follows:

Pure Mathematics Courses: MATH 220, 245, 324, 345, 347, 348, 365, and 366.
Applied Mathematics Courses:  MATH 230, 231, 232, 251, 254, 255, 258, 337, 338, 355, and PHYS 343.
As special topics or new courses are offered, they will be placed in the appropriate group.

Pure Mathematics Track:
In addition to the four required courses and the capstone experience, the Pure Mathematics Track requires five additional courses in Mathematics.  One of these courses is a required course, MATH 220. For the remaining four courses, students in this track will choose three Pure Mathematics Courses and one Applied Mathematics Course.  
Students in the Pure Mathematics track must also choose two co-requisite courses from the following group of courses: BIOL 220, CSCI 120, CSCI 121, ECON 225, ECON 256, PHYS 111, PHYS 112. Substitutions for this requirement may be made only with the approval of the Mathematics and Computer Science Department.

Applied Mathematics Track:  
In addition to the four required courses and the capstone experience, the Applied Mathematics Track requires six additional courses in Mathematics.  Two of these courses are required courses, MATH 220 and 254. For the remaining four courses, students in this track will choose three Applied Mathematics Courses and one Pure Mathematics Course. 

Applied Mathematics students must also choose two co-requisite courses from the following group of courses: BIOL 220, CSCI 120, CSCI 121, ECON 225, ECON 256, PHYS 111, PHYS 112. Substitutions for this requirement may be made only with the approval of the Mathematics and Computer Science Department.
