Mathematics, B.A.
Introduction
Mathematics, B.A. is a Bachelor program taught at Fresno Pacific University, USA. The program is offered in campus-based modes with full-time options.
The Mathematics B.A. at Fresno Pacific University trains students in the concepts and procedures of mathematics. The curriculum covers historical and philosophical ideas behind mathematics, modern applications using appropriate technology to model and solve problems, and the logical foundation of mathematical theory. Students can choose a General Mathematics emphasis built around Calculus, Linear Algebra, Probability and Statistics, and Real Analysis, with content that ranges from theory to application.
Coursework includes a mathematics major core with classes such as Programming for Solving Problems, Calculus II, Calculus III, Principles of Geometry, Abstract Algebra, Linear Algebra, Number Theory and Applications, Real Analysis, and History of Mathematics. Students also complete electives from options including Numerical Analysis, Differential Equations, Discrete Mathematics, Introduction to Game Theory, and Complex Analysis. The program is designed for hands-on learning and research projects.
This major is recommended for students interested in middle/secondary teaching and for those planning graduate work in postsecondary teaching or mathematics. The General Mathematics emphasis is also suited for students interested in becoming a math teacher, and it can complement a minor or support double-major planning.
