Mathematics - Rocky Mountain College

Mathematics from Rocky Mountain College is a Campus Bachelor Mathematics degree that prepares you for a Education career. If we were allowed only one sentence to summarize our program, that would be it. Most, if not all of the students in our program do not view their bachelor\\\'s degree as the endpoint of their education; rather, they seek additional specialization (and additional compensation in the job market) by entering a graduate program that builds on the mathematical skills they have acquired at Rocky Mountain College . Math at Rocky Mathematics is one of the most intellectually challenging and academically pure subjects. Mathematical thought is a creative process of the mind that uses only logical deduction and established results which, in turn, have been derived from a few unarguable assumptions (axioms). Mathematical modeling is the process of critically investigating a given object (e.g. the functioning of a biological system), and of choosing or creating mathematical structures that explain the observed behavior and allow for prediction and manipulation of this object. The mathematics program at Rocky Mountain College emphasizes both the pure and applied aspects of mathematics. At its core, our curriculum is designed to provide students with a solid foundation in the art of producing mathematically sound arguments, and with a thorough knowledge of the most important modern mathematical tools and methods. In addition, we offer elective courses that give our students the opportunity to branch out and pursue their own interests. Many of these elective courses emphasize connections to other fields (such as computer science, engineering, finance and the natural sciences). Math and the Liberal Arts As a liberal arts college, Rocky Mountain College fosters all aspects of academic growth in its students. This is reflected in its rigorous general education requirements and its dedication to hiring highly-qualified faculty in all its academic programs. In addition, a low student to faculty ratio and small classes allow for individualized study and meaningful interaction between professors and students. This is what sets the math program at Rocky apart from other programs, e.g. at state universities: not only do our graduates have a strong background in mathematics , they also have the benefit of an individual learning experience and the opportunity of working closely with their professors. Just as importantly, they acquire skills that enhance and add value to their specialized knowledge and training in mathematics. Some of these skills are: the ability to communicate clearly and effectively in writing and verbally; integration of ideas, methods and knowledge from sister disciplines, such as computer science and the natural sciences; and exposure to the fine arts, humanities, and social sciences.
