Mathematics Certificate

The certificate in mathematics is designed to present a rigorous introduction to university-level mathematics. More than computation, mathematics is a discipline that demands skillful reasoning and genuine understanding. Instruction begins with foundations of higher-level pure and applied mathematics and culminates with advanced courses that establish the broad theoretical basis for the discipline.
