Mathematics

 

DESCRIPTION   [Top]
Mathematics is the study of quantitative relationships through mathematical concepts and theories, which are expressed in numbers and symbols. Mathematics may be pure (more theoretical) or applied (more practical). Mathematics is an excellent major for the student whose immediate objective is to acquire a strong liberal arts education. Some major components of this field are arithmetic, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, calculus, probability, and statistics. UNCG offers a BA and BS in Mathematics that can include teacher certification. Mathematics majors may choose a concentration in applied mathematics, pure mathematics, computer science or statistics. UNCG also offers graduate programs leading to the MA or Ph.D. degrees in Mathematics. For more information on the Mathematics major contact Alex Chigogidze in 383 Bryan Building or go to www.uncg.edu/mat.
