| Description: | Mathematics focuses attention on basic concepts and then takes those concepts and creates a practical application for them. A mathematician is known as one who has exceptional reasoning, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. These BA or BSc programs provide an excellent background for many occupations demanding skills in mathematical reasoning and techniques such as finance or cryptography. The program in mathematics emphasizes the understanding of concepts, abstraction and reasoning; these then become the environment in which problems are solved. Taking mathematics in combination with Computer Science, Statistics, or Economics makes a very impressive curriculum vitae for a graduate seeking a career in Industry, Government, or Business. |
