Mathematics

The rewards of pursuing a mathematics degree are manifold. Of course, math majors can process data, evaluate statistics, and manipulate numbers. But at its core, the study of mathematics is much more a science of puzzle-solving than of number-crunching. Mathematics exercises one’s logical and analytical faculties. Ultimately, it is perhaps the world’s most useful mind game.

Lakeland’s mathematics major easily leads to graduate study or careers in teaching or statistical analysis, and it can be combined with other major programs, such as computer science, business administration, chemistry, and biochemistry.

Students who have successfully completed a B.A. in Mathematics from Lakeland University should be able to:

  • Demonstrate knowledge of algebra, analysis, and geometry.
  • Formulate precise definitions, clearly state theorems, and construct formal proofs.
  • Solve problems and relate math to applications.
  • Apply different tools, including technology, to solve problems.
