Description of Mathematics Major

Mathematics majors are generally science-oriented and have set their career goals accordingly.

During four years of college work, mathematics majors learn basic mathematical concepts in the areas of differential and integral calculus, abstract algebra, probability and statistics, geometry and topology, real and complex analysis, numerical analysis and computer sciences and others.

In order to succeed in such studies, mathematics majors must develop skills in computation, logic, intuition, analysis and construction.  The IU Southeast Mathematics Faculty offers either a Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Arts degree in mathematics.
