Overview
The Mathematics program balances algebra
vs. analysis in its basic courses and pure vs.
applied mathematics (including probability
and statistics) in its advanced courses. Supporting
courses balance traditional physics
with contemporary computer science. Graduates
have great flexibility: some continue
study in mathematics or related fields, some
teach, some become actuaries and some work
in jobs which vary from programming to
management. A student chapter of the Mathematical
Association of America encourages
early professionalism.
