    Department of Mathematics

    The Majors

    Mathematics

    The major in mathematics is designed to enable the student to enter the marketplace (industrial or educational) or to pursue further studies in mathematics or allied fields at the graduate level. Interested students are urged to contact the Department of Mathematics as early as possible. The student will be assigned an advisor who will work with the student to develop an appropriate course of study.

    Financial Mathematics

    This major is first and foremost a course of study in mathematics, with a focus on the computational tools and techniques needed to thrive in the financial engineering industry. In today’s specialized world, a sophisticated level of mathematical understanding is an essential competitive edge. As this program includes courses in Economics and Finance, students who would usually not consider a traditional mathematics major will find this program especially attractive. Interested students are urged to contact the Department of Mathematics as early as possible.  The student will be assigned an advisor who will aid in formulating an appropriate course of study.

    A student majoring in financial mathematics cannot minor in mathematics or declare a second major in statistics.

    As a Minor

    The minor in mathematics provides students with a background in the various theories and uses of mathematics. The minor requires the completion of MTH 3006, MTH 3010, MTH 3020, MTH 3030, or MTH 3050, and any other 3- or 4- or 5-credit mathematics course numbered 3000 or higher with the exception of MTH 4005 and MTH 4410 (which are not applicable toward the minor). Students must then complete a capstone course consisting of any mathematics course at the 4000-level or higher with the exceptions of MTH 4005, MTH 4009, MTH 4119, and MTH 4410 (which may not be used as a capstone course).

    This minor is not open to students majoring in actuarial science, financial mathematics, or statistics (BA).
