Mathematics, long the language of science and technology, provides a rich source of methods for analyzing and solving problems encountered in the physical world. Today, mathematics is essential in virtually all fields of human endeavor, including business, the arts, and the social sciences. Students pursue mathematical reasoning, differential equations, and linear algebra, as well as statistics and probability. Design seeks a broad understanding of principles and systems of perception, communication, and action. Integrating text and image to visualize concepts and data, students learn to enhance human understanding of complex and vital knowledge. Their work has an enlightening or instructive intent.
Learning Outcomes
