MISSION
The mathematics major at Marist offers a solid grounding in the ideas and techniques of mathematics. During the junior and senior year, the student can use the upper- level elective mathematics courses to tailor the major to career goals. Applied Statistics, Operations Research, and Numerical Analysis emphasize the ideas and methods used in business and industry. Abstract Algebra II, Differential Equations, and Complex Variables emphasize the conceptual understanding of mathematics and the techniques useful in the sciences. In partnership with the Education Department in the School of Social & Behavioral Sciences, the Department of Mathematics has established a mathematics major curriculum that leads to provisional New York State certification in Adolescence Education with a specialization in Mathematics. This curriculum, approved by the New York State Education Department, includes courses in mathematics, as well as courses designed to prepare candidates for a secondary school teaching career. A supervised student teaching experience, arranged by the Education Department, is included in the program’s fifth year.
