Mathematics Minor
By minoring in mathematics, you can develop your problem-solving skills and enrich your resume. As a mathematics minor, you will obtain a well-rounded introduction to fundamental principles of mathematical reasoning and logical arguments. You will also deepen your knowledge of modeling techniques required for successful application of mathematics to your field of interest.
The mathematics minor requirements are very flexible and quite manageable: the minor consists of two required courses (MAT 155 or MAT 161 and MAT 162) and four elective courses above MAT 162. You can choose the elective courses so that you have an introduction to various areas of modern mathematics, so that they focus on application of mathematics to your major and your other interests, or so that they combine these two objectives.
Goal 1: Students will develop specific skills in mathematics.
Outcome 1.1: Students will perform computations, identify the appropriate method to solve a specific mathematical problem, and apply an appropriate proof technique to prove a specific mathematical statement.
Outcome 1.2: Students will use modeling techniques required for successful application of mathematics.
