Top Mathematics Colleges

As a mathematics major, you’ll learn how contemporary mathematics can be used to describe the complex world around us. To do so, students take an array of challenging courses such as: Manifolds & Differential Forms, Differential Equations, Matrix Groups, Advanced Calculus, Discrete Structures, and Number Theory.

Earning a degree in mathematics will prepare students for a plethora of career options in sectors such as: actuarial science, computer science, software engineer, economist, and accountant.

What do you need to make it in a Mathematics program?

Mathematics majors need to be extremely strong students of—no surprise—advanced mathematics such as linear algebra and multivariable calculus. Possession of an analytical, logical mind that excels in problem-solving and critical thinking will lead to success within this major.
