Mathematics is perhaps the most fundamental tool we have to
describe the universe. Numbers, formulas, and algorithms help us
understand the rules that govern the natural world by explaining
everything from the massive scale of planetary motion down to
the behavior of subatomic particles. They help us to predict how
businesses will develop, allowing us to make stock market
predictions. They quantify human behavior through the social
sciences. They advance technology through their roles in
computing and programming. The mathematics major offers rigorous
classes in calculus, algebra, geometry, probability, statistics,
and complex variables, among other subjects. Through it, you’ll
earn a broad and solid education that will help you understand
the world through quantitative processes.
