Mathematics - Haverford College

Mathematics from Haverford College is a Campus Bachelor Mathematics degree that prepares you for a Education career. The mathematics program at Haverford serves a wide range of undergraduate students, including those going on to careers in business, teaching, graduate work in math or science, and many other areas. Just as any other major in a liberal arts college such as Haverford, the math major teaches students how to think in the style of a particular discipline. In our case, our core curriculum teaches students how to think ?mathematically?: what it means to define something precisely, how to construct a logical argument to prove a contention, and how to present this argument in written and oral forms. Experience has shown that students developing this style of thinking are sought after by a wide array of disciplines and employers. In addition to our core curriculum, our program offers a great deal of flexibility in the areas to which students apply mathematics. Many of our students either double major (e.g., with physics, astronomy, economics, philosophy, history) or pursue a minor or concentration (computer science, mathematical economics, or educational studies). Our elective courses support these other interests, including courses in Linear Optimization and Game Theory, Statistics, Differential Equations, and Introduction to Scientific Computing. Many students write their senior papers on topics at the interface between mathematics and one of their other interests. We also offer a large array of courses for the liberal arts student not planning to major or minor in math. Many students fulfill part of their distribution requirement by taking a calculus course. These courses go beyond the introduction to calculus many have seen in high school, involving a deeper study of the concepts behind calculus, and of how it is used to solve problems in many fields. We offer various levels of placement into calculus, based on the student's high school preparation and interests. In addition, many students take a non-calculus-based course, such as Introduction to Probability and Statistics. View more details on Haverford College .
