By declaring a minor in mathematics, you’ll increase your computational facility, enhance your ability to apply mathematics to real-world problems, and develop an appreciation for the abstract reasoning at the heart of mathematics. You’ll also have the opportunity to gain experience with current mathematical software and technology, study computational mathematics, and develop expertise in financial mathematics.
Knowledge of pure or applied mathematics is a critical—and very desirable—asset. With a background and training in mathematics, you could become an actuary, statistician, analyst, education consultant, or researcher, to name just a few occupations.
