Bachelor of Arts - Mathematics

Program Description

The Mathematics department offers a variety of courses in many areas of mathematics: calculus, differential equations, probability/statistics, linear algebra, abstract algebra, higher geometry, advanced calculus, discrete mathematics, math modeling, mathematical research and writing, history of mathematics and methods of teaching secondary mathematics. A special topics course allows students to take topology, complex variables, advanced statistics, or other subjects of interest.

The regular mathematics major requires 34 hours of mathematics courses and is designed to prepare students to become practicing mathematicians or to enter graduate studies in mathematics.  Recent graduates are now actuaries, statisticians, or graduate students at major institutions such as Vanderbilt University, the University of Tennessee, and the University of Georgia.  A minor in another field (student’s choice) is required.
