Program Objectives
The objective of the Minor in Mathematics is to provide students with a robust background in the skills of logic, reasoning, and critical thinking. More precisely, the program aims to
- cover basic topics of a major in mathematics and supplement the students with elective courses from various mathematical fields, and
- provide courses designed for students who plan to pursue a graduate degree in mathematics or in education with an emphasis in mathematics.
Learning Outcomes
Students who successfully complete a Minor in Mathematics will
- exhibit an understanding of the nature of mathematics,
- reason with abstract concepts, and
- follow complex mathematical arguments and develop their own mathematical arguments.
