Bachelor of Art in Mathematics - Pure Mathematics

Complex problem-solving is at the heart of our program. As a math major, you’ll learn how to manipulate numbers and apply mathematical principles to real-world challenges. Guided by our expert faculty, you’ll develop the skills to evaluate data, recognize patterns, and use logic and creativity to devise your own approach to difficult problems.Located only steps away from Boston’s Financial District and close to major tech giants in Cambridge, our program also provides students with direct access to prestigious employers for internship and employment opportunities. These resume-building experiences will grow your network and prepare you to succeed professionally or in graduate school.Students in our mathematics program will:Use logical reasoning to draw inferences from a given set of premises and apply mathematical principles to formulate solutions, Write precise mathematical proofs to validate results, Learn to leverage computational and visualization tools – including software programs like Wolfram Mathematica, MATLAB, and Maple – to strengthen comprehension and problem-solving skills, Research expository articles and present on topics related to course curriculum, Expand abstract thinking skills, identifying universality from different phenomena or situations, Utilize R programming language to complete statistical analyses of student survey data.As a math major, you’ll master a broad range of core mathematical concepts, including calculus, linear algebra, real analysis, and statistics. You’ll also develop strong computational and abstract-thinking skills while specializing in one of our two concentrations: pure mathematics or actuarial science. Students in this major can earn a Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics or a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics.Gain an in-depth understanding of pure math in preparation for graduate school, teaching, or a career as a mathematician. You’ll learn to create models to solve practical problems in business, government, and industrial or scientific research and development.
