Learning Outcomes

Goals for Mathematics Majors

• Practice. We require that our students understand and perform mathematical symbolic manipulations, be proficient at using deductive reasoning and proofs, and be adept at using mathematical technology.
• Communication. We expect mathematics majors to be able to construct mathematical proofs, and to communicate mathematically with others in both written and verbal form.
• Context. We want our students to situate their practice and communication of mathematics within its larger intellectual and social context.
• Passion. Finally, we hope that our students develop a passion for something mathematical.
