Why study mathematics?
- Because in our high-tech society, there is a great need for individuals with advanced math skills. Mathematics is a fundamental tool that plays a central role in disciplines such as chemistry, computer science, economics, engineering, finance, physics and psychology. Developing math skills will give you a great advantage, and sometimes are necessary, when seeking admission into graduate programs.
- Because there are a lot of employment opportunities for individuals who complete a bachelor’s degree in mathematics such as actuarial science, cryptography, financial consulting and teaching.
- Because the study of mathematics is intellectually stimulating. As math skills grow, students become better thinkers and problem solvers and are able to deal with more complex problems that require creative solutions.
