Mathematics is the discipline that analyzes the quantitative behavior of naturally occurring as well as human-designed systems. Through mathematical analysis we gain a more complete understanding of such diverse areas as motion of objects within systems from planetary to subatomic levels, growth and decline of populations from human to cellular levels, the flow and growth of money within financial systems, the secure dissemination and retrieval of information in communications systems, and many other such applications. With a firm grounding in mathematics, we are better prepared to more thoroughly understand the nature of the world and society in which we live and work, and to predict the future behavior of the systems with which we interact on a daily basis.
Through the study of mathematics at Buena Vista University, students learn the broad array of concepts and techniques required for studying the quantitative behavior of the varied systems of the world in which we live. A major in mathematics can lead to careers in areas such as actuarial science, statistical analysis, computer science, financial analysis, cryptography, a cognate field such as physics or engineering, and teaching.

For students pursuing secondary teaching licensure, the three courses must be MATH
320, MATH 352, and MATH 432. Students interested in Actuarial Science should choose
MATH 330, MATH 371 and MATH 432, if possible. Students interested in Actuarial
Science must elect MATH 433. Students with a double major in Chemistry, Biology,
Economics, or Finance and Banking may reduce the requirement to one elective from the
indicated group.
Recommended Support Work:
