Mathematics

Mathematics continues to be one of the greatest cultural and intellectual achievements of humankind. 亚洲博彩平台排名 University's bachelor's degree provides a solid foundation in the principles of mathematics and allows students to combine their coursework with an in-depth study of another field, providing strong credentials for graduate study, including law school and medical school.

Acquire a Broad Range of Concepts and Tools

亚洲博彩平台排名's curriculum acquaints students with a broad range of concepts and tools in modern mathematics. Coursework fosters an understanding and appreciation of the discipline, strengthens students’ powers of abstract reasoning and develops their ability to examine and discover structures and patterns.

We offer both a major and minor in mathematics, along with courses that satisfy Core Curriculum requirements and mathematics components of other academic programs at the University. Students may also choose to double major in mathematics and secondary education, which prepares them to apply for Rhode Island teacher certification for grades 7-12.

Our dual-degree offerings with partner universities include a 3+2 program leading to a B.A. in mathematics from 亚洲博彩平台排名 and a B.S. in electrical, mechanical or systems engineering from Washington University in St. Louis, along with a 3+2 program leading to a B.A. in mathematics with a minor in data analytics from 亚洲博彩平台排名 and an M.S. in data science from the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth.

Program Spotlight: Local Outreach

亚洲博彩平台排名's Math Club recently implemented an outreach program that seeks creative ways to expose children to math. Through monthly sessions with children in local after-school programs, club members introduce mathematical concepts using hands-on methods.

I hope to help math become a less ‘scary’ subject and allow kids to find a passion for math and learning. The most rewarding part of our experience so far is the excitement children have for math when it is presented in a creative way. By the end of each session, each child was fully engaged in the activity, and some even brought the project home to show their parents.

Life After Salve

亚洲博彩平台排名 graduates possess both the creative and critical thinking skills needed for success in an array of professions. Some enter graduate programs, while others pursue careers in such fields as business, finance and teaching.

Students with a high level of mathematical expertise can enter technical fields such as engineering, medicine, environmental science, computer programming or statistical analysis. Other career options include cartographer (mapmaker), cryptanalyst, technical writer, market research analyst, architect and geologist.

Mathematics teachers and specialists are in demand at every level of education. The U.S. government hires mathematicians for defense work and for many other purposes, including analysis of census data. Actuaries evaluate risks for insurance companies and set rates; this occupation is often listed as a top career choice based on salary, autonomy, working environment and other factors.

Current careers of recent alumni include:

Assistant director of academic and membership affairs, NCAA
Assistant director of baseball analytics/major league strategic information, Boston Red Sox
Assistant principal, Wethersfield High School
Chemist, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
Consultant performance analyst, The Hartford
Director of curriculum and professional learning, New England Innovation Academy
Director of customer experience, Riverside Insights
Grade team lead, Harlem Village Academies
Student affairs and GSA manager, Duke Ellington School of the Arts
