Mathematics
"My favorite part of studying at 鶹ҹ is the community of friends and classmates I’ve built since arriving here. Almost all math majors know each other and are friends. Additionally, I’ve been able to make friends beyond the walls of Maxim Doucet thanks to the minors I am pursuing.”
You should major in mathematics if:
- You enjoy critical and analytical thinking.
- You’re drawn to the science of numbers and their manipulation.
- You can communicate effectively and are excellent at time management.
Numbers are the language of the universe. Learn to speak it by majoring in mathematics.
Math is not only a building block for the sciences, but it can be applied to nearly every professional field.
As a math major, you’ll explore the complexities of calculus, algebra, statistics, and other high-level math. You’ll learn logic, reason, and understanding.
