Overview
APU’s mathematics major prepares students to turn numbers into meaningful information. The degree provides a foundation in Calculus, discrete mathematics, linear and abstract algebra, differential equations, computer science, and physics. Students may then tailor the remainder of the curriculum to their intended profession using one of four tracks: general math, secondary math education, applied math, and graduate school prep.
In addition, students may choose between either a Bachelor of Arts or a Bachelor of Science degree. Both degrees have the same mathematics requirements, which include a balance of pure and applied mathematics, but the B.S. degree requires a minor in physics, chemistry, or computer science. Mathematics majors leave APU equipped to use mathematics for solid decision-making.
