数学理学学士

数学是人类广泛活动中的基本要素。它是物理科学的语言，因此是制定自然法则必不可少的工具。在社会和生物科学中，它在建模复杂的大规模现象中扮演着越来越重要的角色。此外，数学还具有美学方面：在数学论证中意识到优雅和美丽的可能性一直是人类文化在整个历史中的重要特征。今天，比以往任何时候都可以完成更多的数学工作，并且需要完成更多的工作。通过数学本科课程，学生可以根据自己的学术兴趣和职业计划建立个性化的学习计划。即使他们不打算成为数学家或数学老师，学生也应考虑主修数学。抽象推理和解决问题的培训是许多不同职业（例如法律，
Mathematics is an essential element in a wide range of human activities. It is the language of the physical sciences, and as such is an indispensable tool in the formulation of the laws of nature. In the social and biological sciences, it plays an increasingly important role in modeling complicated, large-scale phenomena. In addition, mathemattics has an aesthetic side: awareness of the possibility of elegance and beauty in mathematical arguments has been a significant feature of human culture throughout history. Today more mathematics is being done, and more needs to be done, than ever before. The undergraduate course offerings in Mathematics allow students to set up individualized programs of study consistent with their academic interests and career plans. Students should consider majoring in Mathematics even if they do not plan to become mathematicians or teachers of mathematics. The training in abstract reasoning and problem-solving is an excellent foundation for many different careers, such as law, graduate health professions, and business. Completion of a major in Mathematics points to a thinking person.<br><br>Students are encouraged to explore the various branches of pure and applied mathematics, as well as other mathematically oriented disciplines, to gain both breadth of knowledge and insight into career options. Mathematics majors can use their training as the foundation for advanced professional study, leading to research and teaching in universities or research in industrial research laboratories, they can use it also in secondary school teaching. In industry, undergraduate training in mathematics is excellent preparation for the important task of liaison work between the technological arm of a company and its marketing arm. A major in Mathematics is particularly appropriate for work in computer applications, operations research, and actuarial science. Double majors in Mathematics and another field, such as physics, computer science, applied mathematics and statistics, or economics, are common and are encouraged.
