Mathematics

Math is beyond just numbers, statistics, and patterns. It's the ability to interpret data, and how we can apply them to science and create real-world applications to predict, and find effective solutions to some of the world's most pressing problems and questions. We can interpret mathematical data to predict, for instance, disease to prevent the spread of deadly outbreaks. By exploring math, we're not only learning about numbers- we're learning about science, and how we can understand relationships in various different fields like physics, engineering, economics, and social sciences.

In a world dominated by technology, computational thinking is only getting better. Being able to analyze and visualize data is essential to gain a better understanding of these skills. Additionally, we're developing our personal skills and our personal abilities to cognitively think, solve problems, and critically think. If you're passionate about problem-solving and using critical thinking skills to make a difference, then the math program here at CSU is for you. Math is a fundamental tool used to understand and solve complex problems in various fields such as engineering, finance, and technology. At Calvin State University, our math courses are intended to equip you with the skills and knowledge needed to tackle real-world challenges using mathematical concepts and techniques; this includes understanding and analyzing non-linear patterns. Through these courses, students can gain a deeper understanding of the language of numbers and how they're applied to the world. Additionally, students will also be taught how to logically and creatively apply different methods to solve an array of equations to challenge their creativity rather than limiting them to one method.

Career opportunities

As a mathematics graduate from CSU, you'll be equipped and prepared for a wide variety of career opportunities within mathematics such as finance, data analysis, research, and various different technological fields. These skills and knowledge gained through studying our math programs at CSU are intended to provide a strong foundation for further education in fields such as computer science, statistics, or engineering. By pursuing this field, you can develop problem-solving abilities, critical thinking schools, and the ability to analyze complex data which will serve you well in your day-to-day life outside of your professional career. You'll be able to tackle real-world problems and make informed decisions that positively impact society thanks to the skills obtained at your career at Calvin State University. Here, our mathematical programs are closely connected to our science programs; this means that you are also dealing with data, and predictions, and seeing how they can be applied onto scientific data to better understanding our world and its connections to numbers.

Courses in this program

Linear methods, linear algebra, advanced introduction to computer science, programming with data, introduction to statistical enquiry, discrete mathematics, numbers and proofs, introductory calculus, university calculus, and more. You'll be taken on a path to applying mathematical data (non-linear) onto real-world applications, including scientific applications, to accurately predict based on patterns and data.

Additionally, you will be taught how to apply math into computer science and computer programming and exploring how to use computers to accurately predict data as well (applications to science and statistics and patterns)

Lets talk about Squares and Square Roots; the operation V.S the shape

Calvin State University

Squares.. when we're talking about squares, are we talking about the geometric shape or the operation? What about both? Squares and squaring both share a common trait; we SQUARE a side length to identify the AREA of a square. When we're applying the opposite, thats called square rooting.

Lets talk about the Pythagorean Theorem; why is it important?

Calvin State University

The Pythagorean Theorem states that A squared + B Squared = C squared. But, what does this mean? How does this play a key role in understanding right triangles? How can we apply our knowledge and understanding of SQUARES and SQUARE ROOTS in the process of the Pythagorean Theorem?
