I. Mathematics Program Goals

The department of mathematics offers four different major emphasis areas. The goals and objectives overlap for all majors with specific differences captured in the course offerings.

For General Mathematics and Applied Mathematics Majors, it is expected that each major will be able to:
  1. Demonstrate mastery of fundamental mathematical concepts, including calculus, statistics, algebra, and analysis.
  2. Reason logically, think critically, and connect mathematical ideas, in particular by being able to construct proofs and reason abstractly.
  3. Apply mathematical techniques and technology effectively to solve problems. All students will show the ability to use programming and software appropriately in applications.
  4. Read and write in the discipline and communicate mathematical ideas.
  5. Be prepared for postgraduate education and/or a career.
  6. In additon to above, for emphasis areas listed below, the major will:
    • (Actuarial Science) be able to understand, read, analyze, and use numerical data and economic principles.
    • (Math Education) understand and be able to apply the fundamentals of Educational pedagogy.
In addition to the goals and objectives outlined for each major/emphasis area, the department also has overall short and long term goals, which are:
  1. Continue to seek to integrate more technology in courses.
  2. Actively seek to increase the number of students involved in internships/research off and on campus.
  3. To improve student performance in developmental courses (MAT098 and MAT099) and also in Math for the Liberal Arts (MAT106).
  4. Create conducive environment (infrastructural) for student learning.
