Admission Resources
Program Overview
The Mathematics: Pure Mathematics concentration provides students with both the theoretical and practical experiences necessary to understand life mathematically. The degree culminates in an individual research project geared to the student’s interests under the direct supervision of a faculty member. Some of our students’ works have been published in peer-reviewed mathematical journals. Our rigorous coursework in small classes studying mathematical fields such as algebra, analysis, and statistics have prepared our alumni for graduate study in mathematics, statistics, environmental engineering, and data analytics, while the breadth of study in the degree gives students the skills to immediately apply mathematical reasoning and techniques to solve real-world problems related to engineering, finance, and economics. The Pure Mathematics concentration at Anderson University empowers students to engage, explain, and employ cutting-edge technologies in an ever-changing economy.
Tradition has it that above the door of Plato’s Academy was engraved the warning “Let no man ignorant of Geometry enter here.” The clarity of thought demanded by Plato is intimately linked to mathematics. As such, we believe that mathematics is not just a means to a fulfilling and lucrative career, but an essential part of a liberal arts education. The Pure Mathematics concentration allows students to encounter the beauty of pure mathematics through multiple semesters of proof-based courses such as Abstract Algebra and Advanced Calculus and to apply their knowledge to solve important practical problems through calculus-based models and statistics. Students also acquire practical programming skills through courses in computer science and coding in statistics courses. The mathematics major at AU not only produces competent mathematicians, but men and women prepared to engage, challenge, and build upon the religious, scientific, and philosophical ideas of a constantly changing digital world.
