Mathematics, B.A.


Availability: On-Campus
Degree: Bachelor of Arts (B.A.)

what is the mathematics major like?

As a Mathematics major, you can expect to take courses like:

  • Mathematical Modeling
  • Abstract Algebra
  • Complex Analysis
  • Computer Science

The Mathematics major allows you flexibility in choosing a minor area of study as an application of the mathematical and critical thinking skills that you learn in your math courses. Suggested minors range from the sciences (Physics, Chemistry, Biology, or the Computer Science emphasis) to Business Administration, Art & Design or Media Communication.

The Hamann-Ray Science Center is home to the Department of Mathematics & Computer Science classrooms and offices.

Life-Changing Experiences

  • In the COMAP International Math Modeling Competition, you apply what you learn in class to real-world situations.
  • Many Asbury students do internships with highly respected companies, and every year AU receives compliments about the quality, knowledge and work ethic of our students.
  • You can request that a professor work with you directly as you prepare to present your research at the annual SEARCH Symposium, the Kentucky Section of the Mathematical Association of America, and in other conferences across the nation. Some of the recent research our students have done:
    • “Using Topological Hierarchical Decomposition to Study Neural Output from Motor Behavior” Meg ’20 and Hayley ’20
    • “Clean Energy Production Model for Arizona, California, New Mexico and Texas” Harrison ’20

Outcomes

What Our Alumni Do

The Mathematics major prepares you for graduate study in mathematics, mathematical physics, operations research, statistics, or a related area that relies heavily upon the foundation of theoretical mathematics. With this background, opportunities open up for eventual employment in teaching and research at the college or university level, or in being a member of a research team in government or industry.

Some of our graduates are working as:

  • Professor of Mathematics
  • Webmaster for Dave Ramsey Ministries
  • Environmental Modeler at Army Corps of Engineers
  • Civilian mathematician for the US military
