Mathematics
Mathematics is a college major that focuses on the study of numbers, patterns, shapes, and logical reasoning. Students learn to solve complex problems using algebra, calculus, statistics, geometry, and advanced mathematical theories. The major helps develop strong analytical thinking, problem-solving, and quantitative skills that are valuable in many fields. Math majors often work with abstract concepts as well as real-world applications in science, engineering, finance, and technology. A degree in mathematics can lead to careers in education, data analysis, research, actuarial science, or computer programming, and also provides a strong foundation for graduate studies.
