It Adds Up
Mathematics
You will use math today. Everybody will.
Mathematics is a powerful subject. You鈥檒l use it when you check the time鈥攐r the speed limit. Newton, Galileo, da Vinci, Fibonacci: They used it in a variety of disciplines, and we still feel the echo of their work today鈥攂ecause math is where everything starts. That鈥檚 where you come in. No matter what career path you choose, mathematics will give you a firm foundation on which to pursue your goals.
Undergraduate Degree Programs
Whether you want to work in aeronautics, electronics, finance, marketing, opinion analysis, insurance, accounting, automation, sales, teaching, or something else鈥攎athematics is your first step. You have the aptitude, but you need the tools to build your strengths into a career. And that鈥檚 where we come in.
Minors
The Mathematics minor is designed to support those disciplines where mathematics in an essential tool. such as marketing, management, physics, engineering, chemistry, biology, accounting, and more. The minor courses in the program develop the concepts and computational techniques, which will be useful in careers which have mathematical content.

A Within Host Model of Dengue Virus Infection
Dr. Jeremy Thibodeaux and senior mathematics student Michael Hennessey have derived a system of differential equations that model certain blood cell and particle populations in the body when it is infected with Dengue virus. The model aims to capture the relevant physiological processes to provide researchers a tool to develop more effective antiviral drugs and treatments in the fight against Dengue Fever.
