Mathematics

How much water flows down the Mississippi River in an hour? How does Google know what pages are relevant to your search? Is that statistic that you read on social media trustworthy? What are the odds of a .300 hitter getting at least 2 hits in their next 5 at-bats? How can the use of software enhance students’ learning of geometry? Mathematics, the language of the physical and human sciences, plays a crucial part in answering these and many other exciting questions! In addition to providing an ideal environment for honing one’s problem-solving skills, majoring in mathematics opens up a wide world of employment opportunities in a wide variety of STEM professions and academic fields. Mathematics majors are routinely among the highest scorers on the GRE, LSAT, MCAT and a variety of other pre-graduate and pre-professional examinations due to their highly-developed skills in logic and problem-solving.
