Diploma in Mathematics
The Diploma in Mathematics program is a one-year post-baccalaureate program primarily intended to provide non-mathematics major students adequate preparation for a master’s program in mathematics. It consists of selected courses from the B.S. Mathematics program.
The Diploma in Mathematics program aims to train students who can:
- show proficiency in the following areas of mathematics: algebra and analysis.
- demonstrate skills in pattern recognition, generalization, abstraction, critical analysis, synthesis, problem-solving and rigorous argument.
- apply knowledge in reading and writing mathematical proofs.
- perform basic mathematical and statistical computations using appropriate technologies in the analysis of data.
- explain the importance of mathematics in the modern world including interrelationships within math and its connection to other disciplines.
