Overview
APU’s math/physics major equips students to apply mathematical models to physical phenomena. The degree provides a solid foundation in general chemistry, Calculus, general physics, and thermodynamics. These then provide a foundation for advanced math and physics coursework, including numerical analysis, complex variables, probability and statistics, number theory, statics, electric circuits, electricity, and magnetism.
Throughout the degree, students are encouraged to think about a Christian’s place in the sciences and the moral and ethical implications of controversial applications of science and technology. Math/physics majors leave APU prepared to combine mathematics and the physical sciences in order to solve complex problems.
