Applied Mathematics Option
Graduates with training in applied mathematics are employed in business, industry, and government. They would probably work as part of a team and would often need to communicate mathematical ideas to persons trained in other subjects. In many instances, they would need to formulate problems for solution on a computer and interpret the answers. Thus, besides a fundamental knowledge of mathematics, a knowledge of what computers can do is essential. This option is also good preparation for graduate study in applied mathematics, computer science, statistics, and engineering.
Courses taken to satisfy the Area IIIC requirements must include PHYS-I 152 and PHYS-I 251 (or more advanced physics courses).
The Area IV major requirements are as follows:

Normally, no more than 6 credit hours outside of mathematics and statistics will be approved.
- The 45 credit hours of courses required above must include at least 6 credit hours in each of two of the course sequences listed below. Students planning on attending graduate school in mathematics, economics, engineering, or physics are advised to take MATH-I 444 and MATH-I 445.

Actuarial Science Option
The Actuarial Science Option for mathematics majors will provide students with the strong background in mathematics, statistics, and economics necessary to analyze financial risks. This concentration aims to prepare students for the first three actuarial examinations administered by the professional actuarial organizations. The secondary area of concentration for students in this option is fulfilled by required courses in business and economics.
Actuarial science deals with the analysis of financial consequences of risk. Actuaries are highly trained professionals, well versed in mathematical, statistical, and economic techniques that enable them to evaluate financial risk of uncertain future events, especially those pertaining to health care, insurance, and pension plans. Actuaries answer risk-related questions by developing, implementing, and interpreting sophisticated mathematical models.
