Mathematics is a deductive science that investigates properties of numbers and shapes.  At the collegiate level, students hone their skill and knowledge of algebra, trigonometry, geometry, and properties of numbers as they learn about analysis (calculus), vectors, and properties of important and sophisticated functions from areas of application.

As a deductive science, emphasis is placed on learning to prove various facts and concepts about numbers and shapes from first principles.  There are a variety of challenging courses set up to lead the student from the foundations to higher-order concepts in the four-year major leading to a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree in Mathematics.
