Bachelor of Science in Mathematics

Webster University

A Bachelor of Science in Mathematics typically offers students an in-depth understanding of mathematical theories and their applications in real-world scenarios. The program often involves courses such as:

1. Calculus and Linear Algebra: Core mathematical concepts like differentiation, integration, vector spaces, and matrices.
2. Abstract Algebra: Understanding structures like groups, rings, and fields.
3. Probability and Statistics: Equipping students to analyze data and model random processes.
4. Discrete Mathematics: Covering topics such as combinatorics, graph theory, and logic, which are foundational for computer science and information theory.
5. Real and Complex Analysis: Deeper studies into continuous functions, limits, and the properties of real and complex numbers.
6. Differential Equations: Exploring mathematical models that describe systems changing over time.
7. Applied Mathematics: Focusing on how mathematical techniques can be used in industries like engineering, economics, and computer science.
8. Mathematical Proof and Logic: Training students to think rigorously and prove theorems using formal logic.

Additionally, students might have opportunities for research projects, internships, and practical problem-solving, preparing them for careers in finance, technology, engineering, education, and more. Many programs offer a flexible curriculum, allowing students to specialize in areas such as pure mathematics, applied mathematics, or data science.
