Bachelor of Science in Mathematics (Traditional/Pure)

The Pure/Traditional Mathematics tract curriculum is designed to give the student a strong foundation in the theory of mathematics. It concentrates on the history of mathematics, mathematical logic, problem solving, axioms, theorems, and proofs. Students will study the art of creating and solving open questions (theories that are assumed to be true but have not been proven). Mathematical theory is the corner stone of all sciences. With each new mathematical result, new questions arise, and mathematical theory grows. This new knowledge is used to solve more problems across all fields, particularly the sciences. Real world unsolved problems have stimulated the growth of traditional mathematics. Students will acquire a mathematical reasoning that can be used in any profession. Mathematics is the language of which all scientific theories are expressed. Students in this track may go on to be professors in universities or researchers of industries and businesses.
