PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
This program provides a solid background for those who wish to pursue a course of study in mathematics. Students will develop an understanding of the ethical, societal, historical and global implications of mathematical concepts. Mathematicians use mathematical theory, computational techniques, algorithms, analysis and the latest computer technology to solve economic, scientific, engineering, physics, and business problems.
They conduct research in fundamental mathematics and use the application of mathematical techniques to solve problems in other fields such as science, actuarial science and risk management.
PROGRAM GOALS
Upon successful completion of the Mathematics AS degree, the student will be able to:
1.
Explain and apply principles of Mathematics.
2.
Perform problem solving and computational tasks in the disciplines of Mathematics and others.
3.
Demonstrate proficiency in the use of computer technology.
4.
Use appropriate grammatical forms in both oral and written formats to communicate ideas and concepts.
5.
Identify and evaluate mathematical concepts in terms of ethical, societal, and global implications.
TRANSFER INFORMATION
Students who plan to transfer to a four-year college or university should check the requirements of that institution. If they are significantly different from the courses listed, the student should consult with an academic advisor.

EMPLOYMENT INFORMATION
The program in mathematics prepares a student for transfer into a
Bachelor’s degree program in pure or applied mathematics. A minimum of a Master’s degree in mathematics is required for most prospective mathematicians. The most successful jobseekers will be able to apply mathematical theory to real-world problems and will possess good communication, problem-solving, critical thinking, teamwork, and computer skills. Mathematicians with a strong background in computer science, finance, electrical or mechanical engineering or operations research should have good career opportunities.
