Mathematics - Providence College

Mathematics from Providence College is a Campus Bachelor Mathematics degree that prepares you for a Education career. From Plato to Einstein, mathematics has been recognized as a means to explain the world and as a subject worthy of study for its own sake. We aim to introduce our majors to both the utility and the beauty of mathematics so that they may use it in whatever professional area they choose after graduation. Our students are liberal arts majors who learn to think logically and to solve problems needing quantitative skills. They have room in their course of study to pursue second majors and recent Mathematics majors have taken a second major in biology, computer science, economics, engineering-physics, music, secondary education, and psychology. We have graduates who become actuaries, high-school or college math teachers, lawyers, or pursue M.B.A.?s. Our majors are not surprised at the ?unreasonable effectiveness of math? in areas that never expected to use it. The program grounds students in analysis and algebra, the two areas which are foundational both for further study in, and for obtaining a deeper insight into, higher mathematics. Students have the opportunity to take elective courses in combinatorics, computer science, differential equations, geometry, statistics and topology. The faculty is active in the professional mathematical societies often hosting conferences and bringing students to present papers at conferences. This allows us to make sure our curriculum fulfills national expectations for mathematics majors. The true hallmark of the program is the willingness of the faculty to work with students one-on-one in small elective courses or in reading courses. This year?s top ranked student mentioned in his graduation speech that the doors of the faculty in biology and mathematics are always open to students. Our faculty have taught courses for one or two students. We have an active tutorial program that provides students a chance to explain mathematics to others. This deepens the tutors? understanding as much as it helps those who are tutored. Our students have presented papers at the Eastern Colleges Science Conference and the sectional meetings of the MAA. They have participated in the challenging national Putnam Exams for many years and have had success in these. View more details on Providence College .
