As a Mathematics major you learn how to ask challenging questions, make valuable connections, collaborate with others, explain complex problems, and use evidence-based reasoning. Through your classes you will explore patterns in nature, the development of tools to understand those patterns, and the generalization of those ideas in an abstract setting.
