Mathematical Sciences
Students may seek an academic minor in mathematical sciences.
Minor in Mathematical Sciences
The mathematical sciences minor complements the skills the student gains in his or her major discipline by developing skills in solving mathematical problems and addressing complex and technical materials and by providing a mathematical background to support study in other areas, such as business and management, computer and information technology and the biological and social sciences.
Objectives
The student who graduates with a minor in mathematical sciences will be able to
- Understand and analyze problems that need mathematical analysis.
- Use appropriate tools and software in the formulation and generation of solutions to problems.
- Demonstrate knowledge of content in diverse areas of mathematics and related fields.
- Translate real-world problems into mathematical models and demonstrate the application of mathematics in solving those problems.
- Demonstrate proficiency in written assignments and oral presentations.
Requirements for the Mathematical Sciences Minor
A minor in mathematical sciences requires the completion of 17 credits of coursework in mathematics. All MATH courses numbered 130 or above apply.
Courses may not duplicate those used to satisfy requirements for the major. At least 6 credits must be earned in upper-level courses (numbered 300 or above). Prerequisites apply for all courses.
