Department Objectives & Goals

Program Objectives

The MS Mathematics curriculum centers on developing the student’s understanding of the content of standard graduate courses in Analysis and Algebra. Likewise, it allows the student to choose a variety of electives leading to some areas of specializations as a preparation for mathematics research.

Specifically it aims to:

  1. provide students with the knowledge and skills needed to pursue careers in mathematics education and research;

  2. prepare students for doctorate degree in pure and applied mathematics or some other fields; and

  3. advance teaching competency for teachers in various mathematics courses in the undergraduate level.

 

Program Offerings & Curriculum

Degrees, Outcomes & Curricular Prospectus

Program Offerings 

Bachelor of Science in Mathematics 

          The BS in Mathematics is a four-year degree program that manifests a balance between holistic general education curriculum and a substantial series of subjects in pure and applied mathematics. The program includes foundation courses in related disciplines, cognates in allied and relevant fields, core courses in pure mathematics, and electives in pure and applied mathematics. The program is designed to enable graduated to pursue higher studies in the academe, conduct research and perform jobs in various industries in the country and abroad.

Program Outcomes
          The graduates of the BS in Mathematics program should be able to:

1. Develop mastery in algebra, analysis and geometry.

2. Formulate and solve problems from both mathematical and everyday situations.

3. Make and evaluate mathematical conjectures and arguments, and validate their own mathematical thinking.

4. Express mathematical ideas with clarity and coherence by applying analytical and critical reasoning skills.

5. Determine the truth and falsity of mathematical statements using valid forms of arguments.

6. Demonstrate knowledge in reading and writing by applying the concept and role of proof and reasoning.

7. Acquire and develop an enhanced perception of the vitality and importance of mathematics in the modern world.

8. Communicate mathematical ideas orally and in writing using clear and precise language.

9. Connect mathematics to other disciplines and real-world situations.

10. Investigate and understand mathematical content by using problem-solving approaches.

11. Achieve a command of ideas and techniques in pattern recognition, generalization, critical analysis, problem solving and rigorous argument.

12. Show an understanding of the interrelationships with mathematics.
