Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Mathematics] From Azusa Pacific University

The degree provides a solid foundation in the mathematics of continuous change (calculus and analysis), pattern and symmetry (linear and abstract algebra), space (geometry and topology), chance and risk (probability), and data (statistics). While the?math major?does treat applications of mathematics and includes courses in physics and computer science, the emphasis is on theory. Students who prefer a focus on mathematical modeling and computation are encouraged to choose the?applied mathematics major.

The mathematics major provides ideal preparation for a variety of?analytical careers?in government, industry, and the education and nonprofit sectors. As businesses and government agencies continue to emphasize the use of big data, employment in mathematics-related occupations is expected to grow by 28 percent over the next 10 years, compared to an overall growth in the workforce of 7 percent, according to?the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
