The field of mathematics sits midway between the sciences and the humanities. Like the sciences, mathematical thought is very analytical, precise, and rigorous. But like the arts and humanities, mathematics is about exploring places of incredible grace and beauty, some of which can only be accessed through the power of imagination. You can explore geometry in ten-dimensional space, learn about advanced and exotic number systems, and study statistical techniques for finding patterns in data sets, all in a supportive and collaborative environment.

The minor is intended for any student, regardless of major, with a strong interest in mathematics. While students in such closely allied fields as computer science or physics often complete double majors, students with more distantly related majors such as psychology or history may find the minor useful.

Statistics is a fundamental discipline which is highly desired by employers in many areas of science and social science, business, finance, and medical research. Students will have a significant background and training in mathematics or data science.
