Mathematics is considered the language of the sciences, underpinning fields like Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. Statistics helps analyze patterns in large datasets, while Calculus, the study of change, is essential for understanding biological processes, disease dynamics, and ecosystem populations. At CMU, mathematics is taught interactively, encouraging students to explore the connections between mathematical concepts and various other disciplines. This approach prepares you to apply acquired skills to diverse problems across many contexts. The program offers a range of courses from foundational to advanced, including Basic Statistical Analysis, Chaos Theory (offered bi-annually), and Discrete Mathematics. The Discrete Mathematics course is particularly designed for students pursuing Education who need a mathematics credit but are not ready for introductory Calculus. This course provides an accessible, conceptual study of pure mathematics, covering formal logic, number theory, and the nature of truth in mathematical and other contexts.
