数学理学学士-标准数学

在提供的三个浓度中，数学中的标准浓度是最灵活的，可以选择的范围最广。考虑研究生学习的学生经常追求这种专注，一些旨在进行大学前教学的学生也是如此。集中注意力的灵活要求也适用于有其他目标的学生。美国数学协会本科课程委员会建议数学专业的学生应进行一种超出《目录》概述要求的数学深入研究。根据该建议，本系鼓励其学生至少修读两门400级的数学科学课程。
Mathematics is essential in many fields, including natural sciences, engineering, medicine, finance, computer science and social sciences. Some areas of mathematics, such as statistics and game theory, are developed in close correlation with their applications and are often grouped under applied mathematics. Study options include applied and standard mathematics, operations research, statistics and actuarial science.<br><br>Graduate students focus their studies on computational operations research, a program administered by the Department of Computer Science.<br>The Standard Concentration in Mathematics is the most flexible of the three concentrations offered, allowing the widest choice of electives. Students who are considering graduate study often pursue this concentration, as do some students aiming for pre-college teaching. The flexible requirements of the concentration are also appropriate for students with other goals.<br>The Committee on the Undergraduate Program of the Mathematical Association of America has recommended that mathematics majors pursue a kind of in-depth study of mathematics that goes beyond the requirements outlined in the Catalog. Consistent with that recommendation, the department encourages its students to take at least two additional mathematical science courses at the 400-level.<br>By careful planning, students can build a unifying theme into their study-in-depth option. Relatively common examples are:<br>Algebra in depth: elective courses chosen from MATH 332, 405, 408, 412, 430, and 432<br>Analysis in depth: elective courses chosen from MATH 403, 405, 416, and 428<br>Operations Research/Actuarial Science in depth: elective courses chosen from 323, 332, 413, 424, and 432
