Mathematics - Pacific University

Mathematics from Pacific University is a Campus Bachelor Mathematics degree that prepares you for a Education career. The Mathematics major provides students a strong mathematics foundation with emphases in several key areas including analysis, abstract algebra and applied mathematics . Students completing this major pursue careers in applied mathematics, enter graduate programs in mathematics and other fields, and complete certification requirements to teach mathematics in K- 12 (see the Education section of this catalog for more details). The department maintains common goals for all of its students (majors, minors and others). Students in our courses will learn strategies for abstract problem solving, gain a basic understanding of computers and the broad implications of their use, be exposed to mathematics as a liberal art, and be given the opportunity to hone their computational skills. Students with a program of study in Mathematics learn abstract mathematical constructs and paradigms, They develop logical thinking and communication skills through argumentation and proof. Students study methods of mathematical modeling, and develop confidence and competence in developing models and carrying out algorithms. Students learn to read and speak the language of mathematics . Graduates of our program have gone on to engage in a wide variety of post-graduate activities, including work in mathematics and science-related fields or graduate study in mathematics or education.
