Mathematics
( A.S. Degree )

Curriculum Coordinator: Dr. Roman Kossak

The Mathematics curriculum provides a broad background in science and the humanities as well as a thorough grounding in higher mathematics, particularly, calculus and its applications. In addition to computational techniques, students learn the rudiments of rigorous mathematical argument and proof. Problem solving and reasoning skills learned in the course of studying mathematics not only provide a solid base for transfer to a senior college, but also assist in a wide variety of career options and disciplines such as physical and biological sciences, computer science, education, economics, business, finance, health, human behavior, and social science.
