The objectives of the Mathematics curriculum are: to develop the attitude of mind required for efficient use and understanding of mathematics; to enhance student ability to problem-solve with the aid of quantitative models; to use technology to provide stimulating opportunities for the student to experience mathematics independently as a pattern-seeking science; and to provide sufficient background for further studies in mathematics and related disciplines. Requirements for the major include Mathematics 7-8,11,22,23, 31- 32,41-42,50, two mathematics or mathematics related electives, and a senior-year mathematics project.
