The mission of the Mathematics programs is to train our students in the knowledge and skills commonly used in the field of mathematics and its applications. We believe that God has spoken his Creation in the language of mathematics: that is, mathematics is consistently embedded in all of Creation. Thus, to study God's Creation, one needs a strong understanding of mathematics. The student is expected to obtain a working knowledge of skills needed to understand the Creation.
The learning objectives for applied mathematics majors are:
  1. Students will demonstrate the ability to use quantitative thinking and to analyze and solve a variety of problems that require advanced mathematical understanding including an understanding of mathematical proofs.
  2. Students will demonstrate an ability to identify, formulate, abstract, and solve math problems and situations that use tools from a variety of mathematical areas, including algebra, calculus, probability, numerical analysis, and differential equations.
  3. Students will demonstrate the ability to communicate mathematical ideas clearly. They will use correct mathematical terminology and proper mathematical notation with a logical progression of steps in mathematical operations.
  4. Students will demonstrate a deeper appreciation of the value of mathematical understanding to contribute to a Christian worldview and a life of faithfulness.
  5. Students will demonstrate competence in computer technology, software, and algorithmic tools necessary for quantitative analysis and mathematical modeling, and in the application of mathematics to secondary fields of study.
