Mathematics - Morgan State University

Mathematics from Morgan State University is a Campus Bachelor Mathematics degree that prepares you for a Education career. OBJECTIVES OF THE DEPARTMENT Mathematical methods have become indispensable to the proper functioning of our increasingly technological society. In view of this, the Department aims to assist students to develop an appreciation for the power and orderliness of logical thought, precision of expression, and the utility of mathematics. By properly selecting a major and supporting courses, the student can prepare for careers in a variety of fields including research, business, government and teaching. Recognizing the symbiosis among academic disciplines, the Department provides courses designed to meet the mathematical needs prescribed for majors in other departments. The Purpose of the Undergraduate Mathematics Program at Morgan State University The purpose of the undergraduate mathematics program at Morgan State University is to graduate mathematics majors who: are proficient in deductive reasoning, have obtained a core knowledge base in algebra (linear and abstract), analysis, statistics and topology, are proficient in mathematical communication (written and oral), and are proficient in using technology for computation (numerical and symbolic). The department\'s current undergraduate program contains required mathematics courses in algebra, analysis, statistics and topology that provide the core mathematical knowledge and deductive reasoning skills for mathematical majors. To develop proficiency in mathematical communication, the department requires (in the senior seminar course) its majors to select and develop a mathematical topic that will be presented to the mathematics faculty in the form of a (mathematical) paper and an oral presentation. To prepare mathematics majors for upper level, theoretical courses, the department has developed a two-semester course in mathematical logic (MATH 215 and MATH 216) that covers theorem proving techniques used in advanced mathematics courses. This two-semester course is a prerequisite for all upper level mathematics courses. TECHNOLOGY AND THE TEACHING OF MATHEMATICS It is well known [3] that American students have limited success in mathematics courses. Experience has taught us that a major reason students have difficulty succeeding in mathematics is an inability to concretely support the concepts introduced with models (graphs, diagrams, etc.). It is also clear that very involved numerical computations and algebraic manipulations camouflage the underlying concepts. View more details on Morgan State University .
