Mathematics, B.S.

What You’ll Learn 

Our core curriculum includes essential courses in Calculus, Linear Algebra, and Statistics. You’ll acquire an in-depth understanding of the fundamental principles of mathematics, and we’ll teach you to construct rigorous mathematical proofs using precise notation and proper grammar. You’ll develop the skills necessary to effectively communicate complex mathematical concepts orally and in writing, and develop the ability to solve complex problems in a clear and concise manner. 

Outside the Classroom, In the Community 

As a Mathematics major, you’ll complete a senior project addressing real-world issues and present it to faculty members. Examples of recent projects include: 

• An examination of the effects of COVID-19 vaccination rates using multiple comparison tests in Python 
• Using k-Nearest Neighbor Machine learning models to measure the cost-effectiveness of NFL players    

Recent math majors have completed internships at the following organizations:  

• Rutland City Police Department  
• Vermont Department of Education  
• Vermont Department of Disabilities and Aging  
• Wedgies
