Bachelor of Science in Mathematics

Program

This program is designed to prepare students for graduate school in Mathematics or a career in mathematical research. The program requires students to complete a variety of courses that will give them the foundation needed to be successful in any graduate program in mathematics. This program differs from the B.A. in Mathematics in that the student pursuing a B.S. in Mathematics degree (1) is not required to select a minor course of study, and (2) is required to take more hours of mathematics and science courses than the B.A. requires.

Students who complete the B.S. in Mathematics will be proficient in the following student learning outcomes:

  1. Explain how mathematical concepts reveal Biblical principles
  2. Explain the fundamental concepts involved in the analysis of change (e.g. limits, differentiation) 
  3. Perform high-level mathematical computations 
  4. Construct induction, equality, and implication proofs
