The mathematics program
at St. Edward’s reflects the dialogue between the
“traditional” and the “applied”
aspects of mathematics. The result is a mathematics program
that provides a solid foundation for graduate work and as
well as for employment in business and industry. Two tracks
are offered. The Applied Track (BA or BS) is intended to
prepare students for employment in industry, professional
careers, or graduate study in applied mathematics, statistics
and related fields. The Traditional Track (BA or BS) is
intended to prepare students for graduate study in mathematics
or a related field. The Bachelor of Science degree requires
two semesters of laboratory science in addition to the courses
required for the Bachelor of Arts.
All students seeking a Major in Mathematics
(either BA or BS) must take the following core and supporting
courses:
