Mathematics BS



Overview

The Mathematics major at the University of Georgia is demanding yet versatile. The skills emphasized by this major include problem solving and analysis, mathematical modeling, and abstract conceptual thinking. The importance of these skills is recognized in the variety of career opportunities available to the mathematics major. The mathematics major is sometimes used as a stepping stone to professional schools such as law, business, or medicine; it can lead to applied careers in actuarial sciences, computer modeling and applications, and optimization and control theory; it can lead to academic positions, from high school teacher to college professor.

Mathematics classes are generally small, offering students a great amount of personal attention. State-of-the-art computer labs are available to mathematics students. And finally, an active Math Club offers students opportunities to interact with each other, graduate students, and faculty. Visit our web page at http://www.math.uga.edu/ for further information.
