From the architecture of a skyscraper to the spiral of a seashell, everything around us follows mathematical laws.
In our undergraduate program, you’ll connect mathematics in a meaningful way to your own life. You’ll see how each topic connects to your deepest self while growing as a mathematician and a person.
Order is present everywhere
Mathematics is the study of nature from the perspective of orderliness. Mathematicians find and study patterns of orderliness and then use them to solve challenging problems in business and economics, data analysis, medical research, climate change, engineering and technology, physics, biology and agriculture, and the social sciences.
As a mathematics student at MIU, you will learn to recognize patterns in nature, data, and designs. You will build your problem-solving ability by tackling challenging problems in both abstract contexts and concrete applications.
Dive deeply into mathematics
We will help you understand mathematical principles rather than just memorizing procedures. In class, you will engage in lively problem-solving sessions and in-depth discussions.
Your regular practice of the Transcendental Meditation technique enhances your pattern recognition and problem-solving ability by
- Providing deep rest and rejuvenation
- Unfolding your creativity and intelligence
- Enabling you to maintain broad comprehension while focusing on details
- Refining your intuition and ability to think abstractly
In addition, in every class, you will see that the principles governing mathematics are the same as the principles governing your own consciousness. In this way, you will never feel disconnected from what you are studying. You will discover that the principles governing your consciousness are the same as the principles governing all other disciplines.
You’ll graduate prepared for a career in a technical area or graduate study in business and other professional or scientific areas. This track combines mathematics courses with courses in computer science.
As a student, you’ll have the opportunity to present your research papers at regional conferences, where several students have received Outstanding Student Paper awards.
Catherine Gorini received an Award for Outstanding College Teaching from the Mathematical Association of America in 2001.
Dr. Anne Dow holds a PhD in in Mathematics from the University of Queensland, Australia. For many years, she has taught courses in calculus, linear algebra, abstract algebra, and many more topics at all levels of the undergraduate curriculum. She has also taught graduate courses in partial differential equations, mathematical statistics, and real and complex analysis.
