Mathematics

Where Real World Experience Adds Up

Our program in mathematics embodies both views of mathematics: one, as the study of abstract structures and hence independent of the physical world; the other, as the cornerstone of all scientific inquiry.

The program leading to a Bachelor of Science degree in Mathematics is designed to provide a solid foundation in general principles sought for in any number of significant career and higher educational paths. You may also choose one of several concentrations to focus you studies on a particular path.

Mathematics Program Highlights:

• Program offers concentrations in applied mathematics, actuarial science and secondary education.
• Mathematics majors can easily add double majors or minors in other disciplines to enhance their degrees and set themselves apart in the job market.
• Small, engaging classes are taught by faculty who are conducting dynamic mathematical research in both applied and theoretical research, yet view teaching as their central focus.
• Undergraduate students work side-by-side with faculty members on research projects.
• Participation in professional societies and conferences, SFU’s Pie on Pi Day, the Pennsylvania Statistics Poster Competition, SFU’s Science Day, the MECS club, and Honor societies are just a few of the opportunities that await our students.
