Mathematics
The Mathematics curriculum successfully prepares students for graduate school, teaching at the junior high or secondary level, working in actuarial science, and working in industry. Majors also take courses in computer science and physics to broaden their exposure to the sciences. Mathematics majors begin with a 3-semester calculus sequence, followed by a mathematical logic course which prepares students for upper-level courses. Coursework in linear algebra, probability theory, and analysis provides a solid foundation in the basics of mathematics. Majors also take six hours of elective courses in number theory, differential equations, discrete mathematics, or geometry. The curriculum is flexible enough for mathematics majors to pick up a minor in computer science or another related field.
Advanced Placement Opportunity:
CLEP examinations are available in College Algebra; however, credit
by examination in these introductory courses does not necessarily fulfill
entrance requirements for advanced mathematics courses. Therefore, students
should consult with the Dean of Science and Technology for additional
information about Mathematics.
Quincy University offers a sequence of courses in Mathematics to prepare students
for the actuarial profession or for students who are interested in obtaining
a minor in Mathematics. Students should consult with the Dean of Science and
Technology for additional information about Mathematics.
