The Bachelor of Science in Applied Mathematics
The basic major in applied mathematics consists of at least 40 credits of mathematics and statistics courses. Since different program emphases are possible, students should consult with their advisor as soon as possible concerning the alternatives.

The Bachelor of Science in Scientific Computing
The solution of large-scale scientific and engineering projects is frequently critically dependent upon some aspects of the mathematical and computational sciences. These include: a knowledge of mathematical modeling, state-of-the-art numerical analysis, symbolic and logic analysis, software development tools for high performance computer architectures and, especially, parallel and vector computers, graphical analysis, visualization, and networking.

There is a growing call for more people trained in this increasingly important, interdisciplinary field now variably called, scientific computing or computational science. In response to this call the Department of Mathematics and the Department of Computer Science have introduced the Bachelor of Science Degree in the discipline of Scientific Computing.

The Bachelor of Science in Actuarial Mathematics
This program has become an attractive option for students with interests in pursuing advanced degrees in mathematical or quantitative finance and MBAs as well as in securing employment in the banking and insurance industries. This multidisciplinary course of studies can be characterized as a degree program in applied mathematics with a focus on financial models. In addition to a core curriculum of mathematics courses, students are required to complete specific course sequences in statistics, economics and computer science. The capstone courses in the program, Math 1120 & 1121, follow the most recent syllabus, approved by the Society of Actuaries and the Casualty Actuarial Society, for the societies' professional examinations in Financial Mathematics (FM), Financial Economics (MFE) and Life Contingencies (MLC). The Department organizes seminars, led by local actuaries, to prepare students for taking these professional society examinations as well as their examination in Probability (P).

The Bachelor of Science in Mathematics-Economics
This joint major provides a program of study for students who seek the option of taking a quantitatively oriented job in industry or who intend to enter graduate school in applied mathematics, statistics, economics, business or a related area such as operations research or management science. The program is advantageous to students who otherwise would take a double major or a single major in mathematics and/or economics. The joint major provides not only a set of requirements but also suggested course sequences of mathematics and economics courses which are compatible with each other and which prepare students for various specialties.

There are three areas in economics which are very closely related to mathematics. These are Economic Theory, Stat-Econometrics, and Mathematical Economics. A mathematics-economics joint major includes courses in each of these three areas. In order to acquire the appropriate mathematical background to take courses in these areas, as well as to provide a good foundation in mathematics relative to the careers mentioned above, joint majors take appropriate basic mathematics courses. For students in the joint major, these basic mathematics courses replace the economics ``Mathematics for Economists'' prerequisites.

The Bachelor of Science in Mathematics-Philosophy
This joint major presents an opportunity for students to explore the exciting realms of mathematics and philosophy, with particular emphasis on logic, and the foundations of mathematics.

Minor in Mathematics
Students with majors in other departments can earn a minor in mathematics.
