数学

数学 continues to be one of the greatest cultural and intellectual achievements of humankind. 亚洲博彩平台排名 University's bachelor's degree provides a solid foundation in the principles of mathematics and allows students to combine their coursework with an in-depth study of another field, providing strong credentials for graduate study, including law school and medical school.

Acquire a Broad Range of Concepts and Tools

亚洲博彩平台排名's curriculum acquaints students with a broad range of concepts and tools in modern mathematics. Coursework fosters an understanding and appreciation of the discipline, strengthens students’ powers of abstract reasoning and develops their ability to examine and discover structures and patterns.

We offer both a major and minor in mathematics, along with courses that satisfy Core Curriculum requirements and mathematics components of other academic programs at the University. Students may also choose to double major in mathematics and 中等教育, which prepares them to apply for Rhode Island teacher certification for grades 7-12.

Our dual-degree offerings with partner universities include a 3 + 2项目 导致B.A. in mathematics from 亚洲博彩平台排名 and a B.S. in electrical, mechanical or systems engineering from Washington University in St. 路易,还有一个 3 + 2项目 导致B.A. in mathematics with a minor in data analytics from 亚洲博彩平台排名 and an M.S. in data science from the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth.

Program Spotlight: Local Outreach

亚洲博彩平台排名's Math Club recently implemented an outreach program that seeks creative ways to expose children to math. Through monthly sessions with children in local after-school programs, club members introduce mathematical concepts using hands-on methods.

 I hope to help math become a less ‘scary’ subject and allow kids to find a passion for math and learning. The most rewarding part of our experience so far is the excitement children have for math when it is presented in a creative way. 在每节课结束时, each child was fully engaged in the activity, and some even brought the project home to show their parents.
