Mathematics - Lawrence University

Mathematics from Lawrence University is a Campus Bachelor Mathematics degree that prepares you for a Education career. Our students begin by completing the calculus sequence. If you have not had calculus before coming to Lawrence, you will take a three-term sequence during your first year. Students who have taken calculus often start at the second or third term of the sequence. Of course, we give credit and advanced placement for AP calculus and for calculus courses taken at other colleges; our main concern is to place you where you will be comfortable with the level of the material. Our course differs from the usual high school versions in tempo and by emphasizing a thorough understanding. The second year of the major begins with an applied course: either differential equations or combinatorics (discrete mathematics) or statistics. After that, there is a two-course sequence that introduces you to upper level mathematics . These courses, one in abstract algebra and the other in classical analysis, teach the standard mathematical techniques of proof and develop your ability to write mathematics clearly. In the last two years of the major, you choose four courses from a list of about 15 upper level courses that span undergraduate mathematics . These courses generally feature challenging problem sets involving both theory and applications, and are, where appropriate, accompanied by projects or computer applications. Classes at this level are small -- a typical upper level course has between 6 and 10 students. In addition, senior majors undertake an independent study project.
