Mathematics
The problem-solving skills which are learned through
math can and are applied to all areas of living. My professors even integrated
faith and learning, something uncommon in the field of math. They inspired me to
consider pursuing a career in teaching at the college level.

Mathematics
Students who major in Mathematics may look to
careers in teaching and research, computer-related work from programming to
sales or design, operations research, and statistics and actuarial analysis. In
addition, students who have completed a mathematics major are well prepared for
a variety of jobs in business and industry which are not usually conceived as
being related to mathematics. These students have spent four years in courses
that have required them to consider a variety of problems in which they need to
isolate essential details and proceed in systematic ways to find solutions. The
skills they have obtained in this manner are applicable to many non-mathematical
situations. Furthermore, in mathematics, perhaps more than in any other
discipline, students practice concise, unambiguous communication; this skill is
of great value in any job that requires communication with others.
Computer Resources
Computer resources are available through labs located in White Hall, Sells
Hall, the Student Center, and the E.W. King Library. Every full-time student
is issued a personal laptop on which is much software, including the premier
mathematical software Mathematica.
