About

Perhaps mathematics is a subject you like or excel at? Studying math has numerous benefits. It helps you identify and analyze patterns, see relationships, and solve problems, for starters. Whether it's basic or advanced, most people use math daily, and most careers require math skills.

Mathematicians are creative and disciplined analytic thinkers who work in diverse areas of business, industry, government, finance, insurance, and education. The Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics is designed to afford dynamic double-degree opportunities.

Mathematics underpins the natural and life sciences, economics, and computer science. The B.A. in Mathematics curriculum explores patterns in numbers, space, nature, music, science, and art. It introduces you to mathematics as a precise language that facilitates qualitative and quantitative analysis of these patterns and often connects them with completely unexpected areas of application.

From Google's search algorithms to the precise calculations that govern a bomb-sniffing robot's decision-making, advanced math is an essential tool in expanding the boundaries of technology.

A math degree also prepares students for graduate or professional school in statistics, medicine, law, or the natural sciences, or for a mathematical research career.
