Why This Major Is Relevant
Numbers are fundamental to our understanding of the world. In an increasingly digital age, the use, analysis, and interpretation of numbers are critical to every aspect of our society, from banking and international trade to health care, government, politics, and war. In an environment where everything is quantified, there is an increasing need for professionals who can make sense of the numbers around us. APU mathematics majors are uniquely prepared to meet this need, putting mathematical expertise to use in order to make informed, intelligent decisions.
Gain In-Depth Learning Experiences
APU mathematics students often secure internships conducting research at the Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics at the University of California, Los Angeles. Projects include applied research and computational simulations of resonating devices. Internships ensure that mathematics majors graduate with contacts in their chosen field, solid evidence of their skills, and substantial experience on their résumés.
