Bacharelado em MATEMÁTICA

Why study mathematics? Many of the new wonders that we take for granted in our modern technological society have mathematical ideas and applications as their basis. However, this role is often hidden from view. Complex economic and planning decisions, scientific discoveries that improve our lives, and new technologies and products are often possible only after mathematical or statistical analysis, computer visualization, simulation, design and implementation based on mathematics. Therefore, mathematicians and mathematically educated scientists, engineers and economists, make important daily contributions in the understanding and advancement of science, the improvement and discovery of new technology, and decision-making and planning in business, industry and government. Students interested in using their mathematical skills in solving real-world problems are well prepared, by majoring or minoring in mathematics, for careers such as in the insurance industry, software design, data and systems analysis, scientific computing, combustion research, the animated movie industry, and cryptanalysis to name a few or a graduate degree in a related technical field. Those students with an extreme interest in mathematics can pursue graduate study in mathematics to prepare careers as university or college mathematics teachers and the development of new mathematical and statistical concepts and methods as researchers in academia, government and industry.

Dedication to our mission and vision lies behind all we do. Adherence to these clear principles has allowed us to emerge as a global leader in STEM education. Our mission is to provide our students with the world's best undergraduate science, engineering, and mathematics education in an environment of individual attention and support. Our vision is that Rose-Hulman graduates will be inspired and prepared for lives of purpose and success, defining and solving a complex global society's problems. We will be a lifelong partner with our graduates and a recognized global leader in science, engineering, and mathematics education.
