Major in Mathematics Actuarial Science Concentration Applied Mathematics Concentration Computational Mathematics Concentration General Mathematics Concentration Mathematics Education Concentration
Major in Mathematics, General Mathematics Concentration
The General Mathematics concentration is a liberal arts program providing both a strong mathematics core and many free electives. This concentration is well suited for students who want to combine mathematics with other areas, e.g. business, law, computer science , or statistics . It is also good for students who want to prepare for graduate study in mathematics .
Major in Mathematics, Computational Mathematics Concentration
The Computational Mathematics Concentration prepares students both for careers in industry and graduate work in mathematics. The course work in this concentration emphasizes mathematics that underlies the computational sciences.
Major in Mathematics, Applied Mathematics Concentration
The Applied Mathematics concentration prepares students for careers as applied mathematicians working in business, government, and industry. It is recommended that students supplement the core mathematical program with courses in their chosen application area; for example, engineering, public health, finance, electronics, or geology. Course requirements emphasize mathematical foundations as well as the application of mathematics in other disciplines. In particular, students receive training in numerical analysis, mathematical modeling, statistics, and computing, as well as a solid preparation for further study.
Major in Mathematics, Mathematics Education Concentration
The Major in Mathematics, Mathematics Education Concentration is a professionally oriented program designed to prepare students for a secondary teaching certificate in Mathematics. Students in this concentration take a strong mathematics core, including the proofs-oriented course in advanced calculus required in the other concentrations. The program aims to prepare leaders in secondary education.
Major in Mathematics
Mathematics is the science of numbers, shapes, probabilities, and measurements. It is a universal language in which information is stated in the simplest possible form. Mathematics has a dual nature—it is an independent discipline valued for its precision and elegance, and it is an essential source of ideas and techniques for other scientific endeavors.
Major in Mathematics, Actuarial Science Concentration
The Actuarial Science concentration trains students how to use mathematics, statistics, business, and economics to analyze and plan for future situations involving financial uncertainties and risks. This concentration is designed to qualify students to take the first two examinations administered by the Society of Actuaries and provides the foundation for the remaining examinations.
Major in Data Science, Mathematics Concentration
Data Science is the discovery of knowledge and insight through the analysis of data. As such, it draws on the study of algorithms and their implementation from computer science, the power of abstraction and of geometric and topological formalism from mathematics, and the modeling and analysis of data from statistics. It has emerged as a separate field in response to the avalanche of data from web enabled sensors and instrumentation, mobile devices, web logs and transactions, and the availability of computing power for data storage and analysis. Modern data is challenging not only due to its large scale, but also because it is increasingly heterogeneous and unstructured. Information gleaned from this data none-the-less is revolutionizing diverse areas of human endeavor from health policy to high energy physics.
Minor in Mathematics
The Department of Mathematics offers a minor in Mathematics for those students who wish to acquire a more extensive knowledge of mathematical sciences in support of their personal interests or major area of study. If you are majoring in a technical area such as engineering or computer science, your major requirements may put you just one or two courses short of a minor in Mathematics. To earn a minor, you must complete a calculus sequence and then take 12 credits of upper-division (300+) mathematical sciences. Of these 12 credits, 9 credits must be in mathematics, but the remaining 3 credits can be in CS, MATH, STAT, or DSCI.
Minor in Mathematical Biology
The minor in Mathematical Biology is designed for students of the life sciences who wish to acquire a broader base of quantitative expertise in support of their major area of study. The minor includes courses on the mathematical modeling of biological systems.
Mathematics Graduate Interdisciplinary Studies Program
The graduate-level interdisciplinary studies program in Mathematics at CSU is designed for students who seek to enrich their graduate degree by completing an additional program of study in mathematics. The program presumes a background in mathematics that includes sufficient prerequisite material to enter the courses in the program. To be admitted to the program, students must be pursuing a graduate degree in another discipline at CSU.
