Mathematics
Mathematics is the study of numbers, structures, and associated relationships using rigorously defined literal, numerical, and operations symbols. The mathematics curriculum includes courses that range from basic skills through differential equations. The basic skills and associate degree level courses provide students with the mathematical preparation necessary for study in other disciplines, as well as for degree and transfer requirements. Upon successful completion of this curriculum students may earn a mathematics degree and will have developed competence in mathematics through differential and integral calculus, providing an adequate background for employment in many technological and scientific areas as well as providing a firm foundation for students planning advanced study in mathematics, engineering, or physical sciences.
