Learning Outcomes
The student learning outcomes for a BS in mathematics are as follows:
- Students will develop and demonstrate the ability to reason mathematically by constructing mathematical proofs and recognizing and accurately analyzing numerical data in all core courses. Students will learn that truth in mathematics is verified by careful argument, and will demonstrate the ability to make conjectures and form hypotheses, test the accuracy of their work, and effectively solve problems.
- Students will learn to identify fundamental concepts of mathematics as applied to science and other areas of mathematics, and to interconnect the roles of pure and applied mathematics.
- Students will demonstrate that they can communicate mathematical ideas effectively by completing a senior capstone project involving an investigative mathematical project and presenting their findings and results in both a written format and as an oral presentation to faculty and other students.
