The Bachelor of Science in Mathematics from PennWest University provides a solid background in the foundations, theory and applications of mathematics. Expect to receive training in basic statistics, calculus, multivariate calculus, logic theory, proofs, problem solving and various types of analysis as well as software training for mathematical problem solving.
Our curriculum combines fundamental theory with critical thinking skills and practical experience. As a result, you'll not just use logical models proposed by others. You'll be able to create new approaches for the problems and technologies of tomorrow.
You'll learn from expert faculty who serve as mentors and advisors. They'll participate in every aspect of your education, in and out of the classroom. You can count on them giving you the foundation you need to succeed.
In addition, you will have a chance to conduct undergraduate research, present your work to others in the field and get published. As a result, you’ll graduate well prepared to become a future researcher in all areas of mathematics, whether you choose to enter the workforce or continue on to a graduate program.
