The program in mathematics has three major objectives: to provide the non-specialist with some understanding of the contributions of mathematics to cultural development; to offer students in natural, social, and behavioral sciences the mathematics necessary for understanding their own fields of interest; and to prepare mathematics majors for graduate study, for teaching at the secondary level, or for work in business and industry. Students considering careers in mathematics should realize that the emphasis in mathematics courses changes as progress is made through the undergraduate program. The early emphasis on problem solving is later subordinated to the task of formulating and dealing effectively with mathematical structures and abstract ideas. Students who have pursued accelerated mathematics programs in high school may request advanced placement. Such requests should be made through correspondence with the department chair before registration. Credit, if granted for high school work in calculus or statistics, is through the Advanced Placement Program of the College Entrance Board. Consult with the chair of the Department of Mathematics or the Office of the University Registrar for details. Students who plan to major in mathematics should consult the chair of the department as soon as possible. Students interested in actuarial science should consider the mathematics-finance major.
