University of Mount Union

Mathematics Department Goals

1. Providing instruction in mathematics as a major independent area of knowledge;
2. Providing preparation for study in other departments, since mathematics is the language in which many of the ideas of the natural and social sciences are expressed;
3. Providing experience in deductive reasoning, critical analysis and problem solving;
4. Providing preparation for immediate employment or for graduate study.

A major in mathematics will give students a substantial introduction to an immense area of interesting and useful ideas. It will equip them for careers in business, industry, government, or education, and will prepare them for graduate study.
